Famous quotes containing the words images, east and/or berlin:

    “For such an advanced civilization as ours to be without images that are adequate to it is as serious a defect as being without memory.”
    —Werner Herzog (b. 1942)

    “Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
    Just like the ones I used to know,”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
