Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “It is not the literal past, the “facts” of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.”
    —Brian Friel (b. 1929)

    “We picked each other from afar and knew
    What hour of terror comes to test the soul,
    And in that terror’s name obeyed the call,
    And understood, what none have understood,
    Those images that waken in the blood.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
