Famous quotes containing the words image and/or gallery:

    “The style of an author should be the image of his mind, but the choice and command of language is the fruit of exercise.”
    —Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)

    “It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
