Picture

Famous quotes containing the word picture:

    No picture of life can have any veracity that does not admit the odious facts. A man’s power is hooped in by a necessity which, by many experiments, he touches on every side until he learns its arc.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men’s theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical it’s because she doesn’t quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which man’s picture of woman to live up to.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
