"All odd and splendid as freaks and nobody able to see himself"

[petronius]

"Someone told me it is spring, but everyone today looked remarkable just like out of August Sander pictures, so absolute and immutable down to the last button feather tassel or stripe. All odd and splendid as freaks and nobody able to see himself, all of us victims of the special shape we come in.”

-- Diane Arbus (referenced here)

No comment, really - I just liked it and it felt interesting. Plus I'd never heard of August Sander...
