Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “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)

    “The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance. That is the brilliance with which your images must shine.”
    —Robert Bresson (b. 1907)

    “These, his images and happenings of the mind, scrambled from his lips and entertained the listeners for a day, then went to join the thousands of other dreams where they dwelt.”
