Picture

Famous quotes containing the word picture:

    To be motivated to sit at home and study, instead of going out and playing, children need a sense of themselves over time—they need to be able to picture themselves in the future.... If they can’t, then they’re simply reacting to daily events, responding to the needs of the moment—for pleasure, for affiliation, for acceptance.
    Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)

    It is impossible for me to envisage a picture as being other than a window, and ... my first concern is then to know what it looks out on.
    André Breton (1896–1966)

    But what now grips his fancy is her face,

    And how the cunning picture holds her still
    At just that smiling instant when her soul,
    Grown sweetly faint, and swept beyond control,
    Consents to his inexorable will.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
