Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world of its own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    “For such an advanced civilization as ours to be without images that are adequate to it is as serious a defect as being without memory.”
    —Werner Herzog (b. 1942)

    “no images of pastoral will,
    But fear, thirst, hunger, and huddled chill.”
    —James Vincent Cunningham (1911–1985)
