And i have yet to find one single individual who has attained conspicuous success in bringing down enemy aeroplanes who can be said to be spoiled either by his successes or by the generous congratulations of his comrades. if he were capable of being spoiled he would not have had the character to have won continuous victories, for the smallest amount of vanity is fatal in aeroplane fighting. self-distrust rather is the quality to which many a pilot owes his protracted existence.

Fighting Vanity Quality
The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

Money is to everything as an aeroplane is to australia. the aeroplane isn't australia, but it remains the only practical way we know of reaching it. so perhaps, metonymically, the aeroplane is australia after all.

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

The photographer begins to feel big and bloated and so big he can't walk through one of these doors because he gets a good byline; he gets notices all over the world and so forth; but they're really - the important people are the people he photographs.
