Famous quotes containing the word pictures:

    “Then my verse I dishonour, my pictures despise,
    My person degrade & my temper chastise;
    And the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame;
    And my talents I bury, and dead is my fame.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “These pictures of time;
    They fade in the light of
    Their meaning sublime.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
