- In contemplating Henrik Saxgrens photography you lose the limitation of your sense of self and experience that of other. It is both humbling and exalting, for this great photographer leads you through aspects of people coming to terms with life. He discovers them in the images he captures world-wide in places and circumstances which need no caption, and provide a profound interpretation. This achievement is reached not with a cold lens but with a respectful acceptance of both the horrors that are endured and the pleasure that are indulged.

- Nadine Gordimer
Nobel Prize-winning author.

- Looking at this book, I have asked myself not what is it like, for this is not like anything else, but where in the world one might otherwise find such perception, such sympathy, such immediacy.

- Peter Hoeg
Author of Smillas Sense of Snow
