I'd have to say my favorites are from the "Photographic Truths" poster (sorry, can't remember who made it, but a quick google search should do it). My favorites are "A good photograph can not be made in Fresno", "1/60'th at F/8 is the correct exposure for all photographs", and "Yes, a new Hasselblad would take better pictures than your current camera"

Checked out the website but couldn't get any quotes to come up. Will try back. In the meantime, in answer to your question, here is one of my favorite which is actually an excerpt from a commentary by Julian Barnes on viewing art.
"Does it interest the eye, excite the brain, move the mind to reflection, and involve the heart?"
This has become a good basis for me to evaluate images and artwork.

Let us first say what photography is not. A photograph is not a painting, a poem, a symphony, a dance. It is not just a pretty picture, not an exercise in contortionist techniques and sheer print quality. It is or should be a signific ant document, a penetrating statement, which can be described in a very simple term - selectivity. -Berenice Abbott, in "Infinity" magazine, 1951

Diane Arbus said " I doo feel that I have some slight corner on something about the quality of things. I mean it's very subtle and a little embarrassing to me, but I really believe there are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them."
Also she said:
"For me the subject is always more important than the picture. And more complicated. I do have the feeling for the print but I don't have a holy feeling for it. I really think what it is, is what it's is about. I mean it has to be of something. And what it's of is always more remarkable than what it is."

I was told a story once by a photo professor at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee about a photographer who was invited to a dinner. As a gift to the hostess he printed, matted and framed one of his photos. The hostess, upon seeing the photo, remarked how it was such a nice picture, and how the photographer must have a very nice camera. The photographer was quite sticken but held his tounge knowing it was not a comment made in spite.
At the end of the evening as the hostess was seeing the photographer out the door he remarked, that was a delicious dinner, you must have some really nice pots and pans. And then promptly left.

Mine would be a toss up between "wow" and "ahhh"
A bit of an explanation is probably needed here. When I see someone looking at a photo and they gasp, say wow or ahhh, I often wish I could have a camera ready. Their expression, body language and word says worlds about the photo. Be it a spectacular event or a baby's smile, they are the things that touch and move people. When you hear (and see) that wow or ahhh, you know that a photo (be it a gallery quality photo or even one of my feeble attempts) has touched someone. As those who treasure this genre, hobby, profession, we cannot be more rewarded than with those single words (and expressions).
Wow, this sounded rather philosphical. Guess I've been breathing too much processing chemical fumes........

"The difference between someone who displays a painting and a photographer is that the photographer can take something as simple as a stack of PVC pipes and make you see them differently. The painter will show you them, but they would be an 'impression' of those pipes. The photographer can make you look at something you see everyday and with so much realism presented, shake your mind so you never look at those pipes in the same way again."

I can understand why in the UK we tell subjects to "Say cheese!" because the phrase stretches the mouth into a smile shape.
But in Spain they say "patata patata"
And I cant understand why - but they say it, and then they all smile. Maybe it is part of Spanish upbringing, but it baffles me.

-Rick McCawley 2004
"Digital Photography's impact on photography is the same as Photography's impact on painting. Look at painting after photography. Impressionism, Expressionism, Fauvism, all the ism's owe there existence to the realization that photography could do something they had been tying but could not do, reproduce the detail in front of the artist. So they re-invented themselves and it is a richer world for it. Photographers are faced with the realization that with digital imaging there is the new ability to express the ideas of the mind and not be limited to the image the camera makes. The possibilities...". How ironic!

You know you are a serious photographer
When ...you set your alarm for two hours before sunrise on Saturday mornings.
You have learned to operate your camera with numb fingers during cold weather.
You have received ten mosquito bites for every photograph you took when shooting at dawn or dusk.
You have dropped your polarizing filter and watched it roll ten feet down an embankment
You have taken so many photographs in cold weather you know how frequently you need to wipe your nose before it drips on your tripod.
You try to rationalize why you would need a $600, $15,000 or even a $30,000 lens.
You have waited fifteen minutes between photographs for the wind to die down.
You remove food from your refrigerator so you have room to store more professional slide film.

Yes, David. That is correct.
Here is another one: ?Photography is truth; and cinema is truth twenty-four times a second?.
I have doubts about this expression of JEAN-LUC-GODARD (screenplay, Le Petit Soldat, 1960). Why ? Because Art is art/-/ificial. Art is not the truth, the real state of things, the truth of real events or facts. It is a RE-presentation of something, not necessary real. The definition of Artificial is: something produced by art rather than nature; or, in another sense, made by humans to imitate nature. Do you think that the detention of time in the photographs is something natural, real ? I rather think that doesn't matter if photography is truth or not. The question is if we like it or no.

'The contemplation of things as they are
Without error or confusion
Without substitution or imposture is in itself a nobler thing
Than a whole harvest of invention.'
Francis Bacon (the writer, not the painter)
'Everything beckons us to perceive it,
Murmurs at every turn,
"Remember Me".'
Rilke

Light is the basis of all life. Photography is described as light writing. Hence it becomes the written language of light. The light etched image of itself, the new hieroglyphics, the storyteller of now for the future, the history of life. It is good to be an interpreter in that history.
Roger Skinner 1977

"Photography by nature is spiritual considering, it comes from the darkness to show the light." -Kevin Russo
This is just one of my favorites!

No amount of schooling makes up for talent behind the lens or the brush. When you got it, you got it.

A dark room is where negatives are developed.

If it's more than 10 feet from the car it is not photogenic.
I think this was said by one of the American modernists.

I need to clarify my comment as to what my "mentor" meant PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE STUDY OF LIGHT except for documentations. What he meant was the time of Day etc, the quality of light, the "temperature of light". There are times when we have little or any control of light.
Thanks Billy for all you did for me years ago.

regarding your comments in favorite photo quotes:"you remove food from your fridge to put film in." I had to laugh, because I don't have any room in my freezer except for film... or hops for making beer!

"The only difference between a professional photographer and an amateur one is that an amateur takes 1 shot of the subject and a professional takes 12."

Saying 'cheese' doesn't make you smile. Instead have your subject say 'fuzzy pickles'. If they still don't smile, just tell them to say 'sex'. That always works."
