Famous quotes containing the words image and/or gallery:

    ““Power may be at the end of a gun,” but sometimes it’s also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.”
    —Jean Genet (1910–1986)

    “To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
