Famous quotes containing the words image and/or gallery:

    “Who can wonder that the world is known
    So well by man, since himself is one?
    The same composure in his form is shewed,
    And man’s the little image of the God.”
    —Marcus Manilius (10 B.C.–A.D. 30)

    “To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
