Picture

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)

    “Eloquence is a painting of thought; and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
    —Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
