LEWIS HINE

While photographs may not lie, liars may photograph.

Machines cannot make machines, unless back of them all are the brains and toil of men.

There is work that profits children, and there is work that brings profit only to employers. The object of employing children is not to train them, but to get high profits from their work.

I have always been more interested in persons than in people.

In the early days of my child labor activities I was an investigator with a camera attachment... but the emphasis became reversed until the camera stole the whole show.

I wanted to show the thing that had to be corrected: I wanted to show the things that had to be appreciated.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.
