Famous quotes containing the word image:

    Two thoughts were so mixed up I could not tell
    Whether of her or God he thought the most,
    But think that his mind’s eye,
    When upward turned, on one sole image fell;
    And that a slight companionable ghost ...
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man’s image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    The hero was distinguished by his achievement; the celebrity by his image or trademark. The hero created himself; the celebrity is created by the media. The hero was a big man; the celebrity is a big name.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
