I need a good photographic quote from a famous photographer regarding photography.

Would prefer a one about learning, trying to give a person I know of some insight to learning photography, don't know if that makes sense to any of you lot

I acquired an expensive camera so I can hang out in forums, annoy wedding photographers during formals and look down on P&S users... all the while telling people it's the photographer, not the camera.

"Did you remember to put film into the camera?" (quote from my father, probably about 5 times one afternoon)

A: "yes, of course, dad"

Reality: no film in the camera
