Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “What images are these
    That turn dull-eyed away,
    Or shift Time’s filthy load,
    Straighten aged knees,
    Hesitate or stay?
    What heads shake or nod?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)
