Famous quotes containing the word picture:
“To be motivated to sit at home and study, instead of going out and playing, children need a sense of themselves over timethey need to be able to picture themselves in the future.... If they cant, then theyre simply reacting to daily events, responding to the needs of the momentfor pleasure, for affiliation, for acceptance.”

“A great man is a new statue in every attitude and action. A beautiful woman is a picture which drives all beholders nobly mad.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“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)
