Amateur Quotes

We may complain and cavil at the anarchy which is the amateurs natural element, but in soberness we must agree that if the amateur did not exist it would be necessary to invent him Picture Quote #1

On every level of life, from housework to heights of prayer, in all judgment and efforts to get things done, hurry and impatience are sure marks of the amateur Picture Quote #1

This idea fascinates me. The idea that a few seconds of watching a photographer in action can tell you his/her status in the medium. And it’s true. If you watch a photographer of merit working an event he/she does not look like an amateur Picture Quote #1

The difference between an amateur and a professional photographer is that the amateur thinks the camera does the work. And they treat the camera with a certain amount of reverence. It is all about the kind of lens you choose, the kind of film stock you use… exactly the sort of perfection of the camera. Whereas, the professional the real professional – treats the camera with unutterable disdain. They pick up the camera and sling it aside. Because they know it’s the eye and the brain that count, not the mechanism that gets between them and the subject that counts Picture Quote #1

Golf is a lot like sex. It’s something you can enjoy all your life. And if you remain an amateur, you get to pick your own playing partners Picture Quote #1

Between the amateur and the professional... there is a difference not only in degree but in kind. The skillful man is, within the function of his skill, a different psychological organization... A tennis player or a watchmaker or an airplane pilot is an automatism but he is also criticism and wisdom Picture Quote #1

He took her up in his arms in the way of a bachelor who has had amateur experience of the carrying of nieces Picture Quote #1

I would hate to think I am not an amature. An amateur is one who loves what he is doing. Very often, I’m afraid, the professional hates what he is doing. So, I’d rather be an amateur Picture Quote #1

But if they have learned to love but the smallest part of the art, they are likely to pursue some phase of it the rest of their lives Picture Quote #1

A professional is a man who can do his job when he doesn’t feel like it. An amateur is a man who can’t do his job when he does feel like it Picture Quote #1

It is a well known phenomenon that the same amateur who can conduct the middle game quite creditably, is usually perfectly helpless in the end game. One of the principal requisites of good chess is the ability to treat both the middle and end game equally well Picture Quote #1

Seen from the point of view of the composer, the most nonsensical practice is that of casting people in musicals who are unable to sing. No one would cast a dancing part with someone who cannot dance sufficiently to come up to professional standards. The same is true of acting. But when it comes to singing, more often than not it is amateur night... Either musicals should be written for specified performers in the first place, or they should be cast with people who are adequate to its dancing, acting and singing demands Picture Quote #1

I’m still an amateur, of course, but I became rugby’s first millionaire five years ago Picture Quote #1

I... began my career as a wireless amateur. After 43 years in radio, I do not mind confessing that I am still an amateur. Despite many great achievements in the science of radio and electronics, what we know today is far less than what we have still to learn Picture Quote #1

I think the really good mountaineer is the man with the technical ability of the professional and with the enthusiasm and freshness of approach of the amateur Picture Quote #1

Growing up as an amateur, I wasn’t much of a power puncher. I was more of a speed guy Picture Quote #1

I’ve dubbed myself as an amateur, not because I work in different field, but because I do what I do for love Picture Quote #1

I’m an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones Picture Quote #1

My dad had been an ardent amateur photographer, and he taught me to compose a photograph from the back to the front, and then populate the picture Picture Quote #1

I always had the desire to perform. If it wasn’t my career now, I’d still be doing amateur dramatics. It’s just something you love, and when you get paid to do it, you pinch yourself every day Picture Quote #1

For this very reason I refuse all the tricks of the trade and professional virtuosity which could make me betray my career. As soon as I find a subject which interests me, I leave it to the lens to record it truthfully. Look at the reporters and at the amateur photographer! They both have only one goal; to record a memory or a document. And that is pure photography Picture Quote #1
