Famous quotes containing the word images:
“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)

—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“In an age of synthetic images and synthetic emotions, the chances of an accidental encounter with reality are remote indeed.”
