Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “What images are these
    That turn dull-eyed away,
    Or shift Time’s filthy load,
    Straighten aged knees,
    Hesitate or stay?
    What heads shake or nod?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance. That is the brilliance with which your images must shine.”
    —Robert Bresson (b. 1907)

    “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)
