Lewis Hine quotes:

While photographs may not lie, liars may photograph.

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.

If you can take photographs with language, I'm taking one right now.

Photography can light-up darkness and expose ignorance.

Photography is an empathy towards the world.

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.

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.
