Famous quotes containing the word images:

    The world is for thousands a freak show; the images flicker past and vanish; the impressions remain flat and unconnected in the soul. Thus they are easily led by the opinions of others, are content to let their impressions be shuffled and rearranged and evaluated differently.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.
    René Magritte (1898–1967)

    Isn’t life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
    Andy Warhol (c. 1928–1987)
