Famous quotes containing the word pictures:

    “Those who are esteemed umpires of taste, are often persons who have acquired some knowledge of admired pictures or sculptures, and have an inclination for whatever is elegant; but if you inquire whether they are beautiful souls, and whether their own acts are like fair pictures, you learn that they are selfish and sensual. Their cultivation is local, as if you should rub a log of dry wood in one spot to produce fire, all the rest remaining cold.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

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

    “Sam Goldwyn said, “How’m I gonna do decent pictures when all my good writers are in jail?” Then he added, the infallible Goldwyn, “Don’t misunderstand me, they all ought to be hung.” Mr. Goldwyn didn’t know about “hanged.” That’s all there is to say.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
