Picture

Famous quotes containing the word picture:

“So long as a man-of-war exists, it must ever remain a picture of much that is tyrannical and repelling in human nature.”

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

“He is no mystic, either, more than Newton or Arkwright or Davy, and tolerates none. Not one obscure line, or half line, did he ever write. His meaning lies plain as the daylight.... It has the distinctness of picture to his mind, and he tells us only what he sees printed in largest English type upon the face of things.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
