Saul Leiter: Frases em inglês
“I much prefer to drink coffee, listen to music and to paint when I feel like it.”
As quoted in Saul Leiter (2008) by Agnès Sire
Contexto: In order to build a career and to be successful, one has to be determined. One has to be ambitious. I much prefer to drink coffee, listen to music and to paint when I feel like it.
“I don’t have a talent for narcissism.”
Saul Leiter: The Quiet Iconoclast (2009)
Contexto: I am not immersed in self-admiration. When I am listening to Vivaldi or Japanese music or making spaghetti at three in the morning and realize that I don’t have the proper sauce for it, fame is of no use. The other way to put it is that I don’t have a talent for narcissism. Or, to put it yet another way, the mirror is not my best friend.
As quoted in Saul Leiter (2008) by Agnès Sire
Contexto: I must admit that I am not a member of the ugly school. I have a great regard for certain notions of beauty even though to some it is an old fashioned idea. Some photographers think that by taking pictures of human misery, they are addressing a serious problem. I do not think that misery is more profound than happiness.

Contexto: I never thought of the urban environment as isolating. I leave these speculations to others. It’s quite possible that my work represents a search for beauty in the most prosaic and ordinary places. One doesn’t have to be in some faraway dreamland in order to find beauty. I realize that the search for beauty is not highly popular these days. Agony, misery and wretchedness, now these are worth perusing.

“I don’t plan things. As a rule I prefer to see what happens.”
