``We are all in the same boat. We are all on the same planet, Earth. Isn`t everyone beautiful? The human race is fine indeed. The greatest achievement for an artist is for his work to endure, to keep on shining like a precious stone. But knowledge does not help much,`` Saudek wrote in the 1983 Aperture book of his work (``The World of Jan Saudek``). ``Creating a good photograph is like making love. Thinking and calculating are of little use. I`ve no idea whether love will come my way tomorrow afternoon. By the same token, I don`t know when I shall take a good photograph. It happens when the miracle takes place.``
