Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “no images of pastoral will,
    But fear, thirst, hunger, and huddled chill.”
    —James Vincent Cunningham (1911–1985)

    “For such an advanced civilization as ours to be without images that are adequate to it is as serious a defect as being without memory.”
    —Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
