I thought of all the magazine article I'd read on mothers who worked and constantly felt guilty about leaving their children with someone else. I had trained myself to read pieces like that and silently say to myself, 'See how lucky you are?' But it had been gnawing at the inside, that part that didn't fit, that I never let myself even think about. After all, wasn't it a worse kind of guilt to be with your child and to know that you wanted to be anywhere but there?

Tori Amos

Every other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product.

Edward Steichen

My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'
