“That’s why high school, or a crappy job, or any other restrictive circumstance can be dangerous: They make dreams too painful to bear. To avoid longing, we hunker down, wait, and resolve to just survive. Great art becomes a reminder of the art you want to be making, and of the gigantic world outside of your small, seemingly inescapable one. We hide from great things because they inspire us, and in this state, inspiration hurts.”

“I was pretending that I never had to fear for him and he was letting me pretend this: that all the dangerous things he could have done, all the ways he could have broken my heart, were in the past, the stuff of stories, that the time that lay behind us was scary, but the time that lay ahead of us was not.”

Ursula Dolder, The palm-fringed “backwaters” of Kerala, India, 1979.

“India presents the essence of that land in photographs and text: the continuity in all the diversity. The expressive pictures by the well-known photographers Ursula and Willi Dolder testify to the incredible wealth of the natural world in India: icy peaks and deserts, jungles and steppes, magical seashores and fertile lowlands. They capture both the majesty and serenity of the nobility, and the everyday life in the cities and on the land. Photos from colonial times document the splendour and the fragility of the British Empire.”
