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)

    “I now require this of all pictures, that they domesticate me, not that they dazzle me. Pictures must not be too picturesque. Nothing astonishes men so much as common-sense and plain dealing. All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
