Photography Quotes

I have heard some great quotes related to photography and have decided to start a list which I will update from time to time as I come across more. Some of these quotes may not even be by photographers or directly related to photography, but I will try to keep them a close to the subject of photography as possible. There are MANY quotes about photography out there, but I am only going to list those I like here
