Jefferson Avenue (Detroit) - Images

Famous quotes containing the word images:

“I tell it stories now and then
and feed it images like honey.
I will not speculate today
with poems that think they’re money.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

“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)
