Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “In an age of synthetic images and synthetic emotions, the chances of an accidental encounter with reality are remote indeed.”
    —Serge Daney (1944–1992)

    “The romance and mystery is [sic] gone. Computer-processed images have no delicacy, no craftsmanship, no substance, and no soul. No love.”
    —Kim Nibblett (b. c. 1969)

    “How clean the sun when seen in its idea,
    Washed in the remotest cleanliness of a heaven
    That has expelled us and our images . . .
    The death of one god is the death of all.
    Let purple Phoebus lie in umber harvest,
    Let Phoebus slumber and die in autumn umber....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
