I dislike every photograph taken of me. However, this one I dislike a little bit less.
(On the portrait by Philippe Halsman, who he excluded from his normal characterization of photographers as Lichtaffen—“Light monkeys.”) 
How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind.
A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years but a photograph always remains the same.
