Famous quotes containing the words image and/or compression:

    Who can wonder that the world is known
    So well by man, since himself is one?
    The same composure in his form is shewed,
    And man’s the little image of the God.
    Marcus Manilius (10 B.C.–A.D. 30)

    Do they [the publishers of Murphy] not understand that if the book is slightly obscure it is because it is a compression and that to compress it further can only make it more obscure?
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
