Man Ray

[thehives69]

Can anyone help me out? I'm looking for a few quotes on Man Ray's life. Or more specifically, a quote to support Man Ray's philosophy on life. I can't seem to find any on the net, so anything would be appreciated.

An original is a creation motivated by desire. Any reproduction of an original is motivated be necessity ' It is marvelous that we are the only species that creates gratuitous forms. To create is divine, to reproduce is human. +++ It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them. +++ One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy. +++ To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society. +++ I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.
