Quote: Diane Arbus ...

"My favorite thing is to go where I've never been. For me, there's something about just going into somebody else's house. When it comes time to go, if I have to take a bus to somewhere or if I have to take a cab uptown, it's like I've got a blind date. It's always seemed something like that to me. And sometimes I have a sinking feeling of, Oh God it's time and I don't really want to go. And then, once I'm on my way, something terrific takes over about the sort of queasiness of it and how there's absolutely no method for control"

-- quoted in Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph, 1972
