In this movie there are a lot of quotes which I love, but when Augustus said with an unlit cigarette hanging from his lips, “It’s a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing.” Augustus shows that when his health is surely not the best, he associates the unlit cigarette with taking control over his health, which often feels out of his control.

There is nothing we can do to stop the process of dying, or all the side-effects of dying. Cancer and depression are just side-effects of dying.

Undoubtedly, the quote, “it can, finally, never be ethical or political knowledge,” helps in the understanding of photographs lacking the emotion experienced by the photographer. Pictures of accidents and deaths may allow the ones to see them feel an emotion of grief and grimness but this is where they will stop understanding the photo. These individuals will never feel the emotions the photographer felt first hand at the site of the picture.

When people see this they will know only so much without an explanation behind this motive because to them it will mean one word, insanity.
