"It is very important that people are lit realistically from existing light sources. And if you cheat, you cheat with light sources that you do not see but feel that they could be there."

Vilmos Zsigmond as quoted by Ross Lowell in 'Matters of Light & Depth', page 45, first published in 1992 by Brodd Street Books, New York

"I believe that what is functional is beautiful, that functional light is beautiful light. I try to make sure my light is logical rather than aesthetic."

Nestor Almendros as quoted by Ross Lowell in 'Matters of Light & Depth', page 45, first published in 1992 by Brodd Street Books, New York

"[L]iving things react positively to what is life-supportive and negatively to what is not; this is a fundamental mechanism of survival. Inherent in all life forms is the capacity to detect change and react correctively -- thus, trees become smaller at higher elevations as the oxygen in the atmosphere becomes scarcer. Human protoplasm is far more sensitive than that of a tree."

David Hawkins in 'Power vs Force', page 45, first published in 1995 by Hay House UK Ltd
