Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “... I am an instrument in the shape/of a woman trying to translate pulsations/into images for the relief of the body/and the reconstruction of the mind.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.”
    —Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)

    “Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
