you can’t escape being yourself

No matter how you turn it, you can’t escape being yourself, you can’t escape being yourself and being an autobiographer and being a contemporary of yourself. It’s a series of revelations of what you are…What you do is like one of those Arab fairy tales…Where you inevitably-or a Greek tragedy-“What the gods have decided for you to do.” You can’t escape it. You can’t escape it.


Saul Steinberg
Richard Avedon - Sixties
