![“[Photography] is always like a state of grace, like the appearance of something that I hadn't foreseen, that surprises me and stops me. If I only did what I had in mind, there would be no emotion. It would be like keeping one's eyes shut rather than open, like theorizing rather than seeing.” quote by Sarah Moon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b9c/sarah-moon-37536_appearance_photography-is-always-like-a-state-of-gr_3007144.jpg)
