"None of us deserve to live, and I don't believe in any human redemption anymore." Whether to become a fairy water ninja, or Urafan Yusuke, it's just a thought. Back to nature, the Galapagos iguana that ignited Darwin could save a soul too. There are many people who embrace nature, but few people face suffering and grief. "You are the salt of the world.

The Salt of the Earth quotes

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: We are a ferocious animal. We humans are terrible animals. Our history is a history of wars. It's an endless story, a tale of madness.

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: To think that these three-month-old trees will reach their apex in 400 years. Perhaps from there we could try to grasp the concept of eternity. Maybe eternity is measurable.
