Marcus Tullius Cicero
[Statesman, orator, writer, b. 106 BC, Arpinum, Roman Empire, d. 43 BC, Rome.]
The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in the body.
[Oculi, tanquam, speculatores, altissimum locum obtinent.] 
Jo Spence
[Artist, photographer, and writer, b. 1934, London, d. 1992, London.]
The one bright spot in this depression was the arrival of the pictures I had taken of my hospital experience... I was absolutely staggered at what I’d photographed. I couldn’t believe that I had seen so much and already forgotten it. I had already disavowed what had happened to me. But here were the photographs that my guardian self had taken—so much detail. This points up one of the advantages of photographing one’s traumas—before they become sealed over.
Rosalind Krauss
[Writer, critic, and historian, b. 1941, Washington, D.C., lives in New York.]
Everything that one photographs is in fact “flattened to fit” paper, and thus under, within, permeating, every paper support, there is a body.
