Actual Image

Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or image:

    “Description is revelation. It is not
    The thing described, nor false facsimile.
    It is an artificial thing that exists,
    In its own seeming, plainly visible,
    Yet not too closely the double of our lives,
    Intenser than any actual life could be....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “When an image is said to be singular, it is meant that it is absolutely determinate in all respects. Every possible character, or the negative thereof, must be true of such an image.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
