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)

    The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.
    René Magritte (1898–1967)

    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)
