Famous quotes containing the word pictures:

    “And what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Those who are esteemed umpires of taste, are often persons who have acquired some knowledge of admired pictures or sculptures, and have an inclination for whatever is elegant; but if you inquire whether they are beautiful souls, and whether their own acts are like fair pictures, you learn that they are selfish and sensual. Their cultivation is local, as if you should rub a log of dry wood in one spot to produce fire, all the rest remaining cold.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
