Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “In an age of synthetic images and synthetic emotions, the chances of an accidental encounter with reality are remote indeed.”
    —Serge Daney (1944–1992)

    “Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    “Rome, the city of visible history, where the past of a whole hemisphere seems moving in funeral procession with strange ancestral images and trophies gathered from afar.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
