Famous quotes containing the words reference and/or picture:
“If we define a sign as an exact reference, it must include symbol because a symbol is an exact reference too. The difference seems to be that a sign is an exact reference to something definite and a symbol an exact reference to something indefinite.”
—William York Tindall (1903–1981)
“It is terrible to destroy a person’s picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
