'Poetry is two elements which are suddenly conflict – a spark between two elements. But it’s given very seldom, and you can’t look for it. It’s like if you look for inspiration. No, it just comes by enriching yourself and living.'
-Henri Cartier-Bresson, as quoted in ‘Henri Cartier-Bresson: ‘There Are No Maybes’,' The New York Times, 21 June 2013
