Picture

Famous quotes containing the word picture:

“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)

“The human body is the best picture of the human soul.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

“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)
