Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “It is not the literal past, the “facts” of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.”
    —Brian Friel (b. 1929)

    “Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    “And images of self-confusednesses
    Which hurt imaginations only see—
    And from this nothing seen, tells news of devils,
    Which but expressions be of inward evils.”
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
