Famous quotes containing the word pictures:

    “Women who marry early are often overly enamored of the kind of man who looks great in wedding pictures and passes the maid of honor his telephone number.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    ““And what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “To stroll is a science, it is the gastronomy of the eye. To walk is to vegetate, to stroll is to live.... To stroll is to enjoy, it is to assume a mind-set, it is to admire the sublime pictures of unhappiness, of love, of joy, of graceful or grotesque portraits; it is to plunge one’s vision to the depths of a thousand existences: young, it is to desire everything; old, it is to live the life of the young, to marry their passions.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
