Actual Image

Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or image:

    “It never was in the power of any man or any community to call the arts into being. They come to serve his actual wants, never to please his fancy.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “That myth—that image of the madonna-mother—has disabled us from knowing that, just as men are more than fathers, women are more than mothers. It has kept us from hearing their voices when they try to tell us their aspirations . . . kept us from believing that they share with men the desire for achievement, mastery, competence—the desire to do something for themselves.”
    —Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
