• If we insist on visible proofs from God, we may well prepare the way for a permanent state of disappointment. True faith does not so much attempt to manipulate God to do our will as it does to position us to do his will.

The rest responded to the hiddenness not by demanding that he show himself, but by going ahead and believing him though he stayed hidden.

• My photographs don't go below the surface. They don't go below anything. They're readings of the surface. I have great faith in surfaces. A good one is full of clues.

That's not usually the best. So each sitting becomes a contest.
