Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “It was at a particular moment in the history of my own rages that I saw the Western world conditioned by the images of Marx, Darwin and Freud; and Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western world. The simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.”
    —William Golding (b. 1911)

    “We picked each other from afar and knew
    What hour of terror comes to test the soul,
    And in that terror’s name obeyed the call,
    And understood, what none have understood,
    Those images that waken in the blood.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
