Famous quotes containing the word picture:
“Found this picture of Angie laughing in a restaurant with some other people, everybody pretty but beyond that it was like they had this glow, not really in the photograph but it was there anyway, something you feel. Look, she said to Lanette, showing her the picture, they got this glow.
It’s called money, Lanette said.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“the sun blew out of sight
like a red picture hat....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
