Diane Arbus

Patricia Bosworth

My 3 highlights

  • “I’ve never taken a picture I intended. They’re always better or worse.”
  • One of the first things he told Diane was a quote from Goethe which she never forgot: “Every form correctly seen is beautiful.”
  • Just before they left the restaurant, she suddenly announced, “You know, I’m going to be remembered for being Howard Nemerov’s sister.” (“How ironic and untrue,” Howard says today.)
