Many excellent quotes already, and this is going to be a great resource to keep in my opinion, it's a great question to filter the gold from other types of content. This one appealed to me:
“I had it all figured out, I was going to become an art teacher. I learned very early on that you can't become an art teacher until you become an artist. Huh? Really?" – Annie Leibovitz

Understanding the intricate nuances of a camera as a novice is like sitting at a piano with someone telling you "It's easy all you need to do is
press on the black and white keys and out comes the music".

Photographic Clarity:
"If you have true photographic vision, you have clarity, you don't have to explain your images.
Clarity is about the passion of purpose. It's about a single-minded desire to protect a memory. It's about story telling with a camera that's so powerful, no words are necessary.
Photographic clarity is about the freedom to express your vision with a camera in a way that moves others."
-- Scott Bourne
