About This Quote
A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know. We see everyday how pictures tell us things. If we see a photograph of someone who is very important to us, we will know more about them than their words could ever say. If we see someone who is not that close to us, then our curiosity will lead us to learn more about them.
