More From D. H. Lawrence

But myth is something else than an explanation of the world, of history, and of destiny. myth expresses in terms of the world - that is, of the other world or the second world - the understanding that man has of himself in relation to the foundation and the limit of his existence. hence to demythologize is to interpret myth, that is, to relate the objective representations of the myth to the self-understanding which is both shown and concealed in it.

The heart of christianity is a myth which is also a fact. the old myth of the dying god, without ceasing to be myth, comes down from the heaven of legend and imagination to the earth of history. it happens - at a particular date, in a particular place, followed by definable historical consequences. we pass from a balder or an osiris, dying nobody knows when or where, to a historical person crucified (it is all in order) under pontius pilate. by becoming fact it does not cease to be myth: that is the miracle.

The attempt to live that way, the attempt to treat everybody - it fails all the time - but the attempt to treat people as equals is a good attempt. it's a very good attempt. and there have been very few governments that have come anywhere near it in the past. the greeks began to, the romans began to - they both failed.

Any philosophic explanation of quality is going to be both false and true precisely because it is a philosophic explanation. the process of philosophic explanation is an analytic process, a process of breaking something down into subjects and predicates. what i mean (and everybody else means) by the word 'quality' cannot be broken down into subjects and predicates. this is not because quality is so mysterious but because quality is so simple, immediate and direct.

Photographers tend not to photograph what they can’t see, which is the very reason one should try to attempt it. otherwise we’re going to go on forever just photographing more faces and more rooms and more places. photography has to transcend description. it has to go beyond description to bring insight into the subject, or reveal the subject, not as it looks, but how does it feel?
Photography Forever Trying

Madonna is her own hollywood studio - a popelike mogul and divine superstar in one. she has a laserlike instinct for publicity, aided by her visual genius for still photography (which none of her legion of imitators has). unfortunately, her public life has dissolved into a series of staged photo ops.

Anthropology... has always been highly dependent upon photography... as the use of still photography - and moving pictures - has become increasingly essential as a part of anthropological methods, the need for photographers with a disciplined knowledge of anthropology and for anthropologists with training in photography has increased. we expect that in the near future sophisticated training in photography will be a requirement for all anthropologists. (1962)
