Famous quotes containing the word images:

    A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets, some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    And images of self-confusednesses
    Which hurt imaginations only see—
    And from this nothing seen, tells news of devils,
    Which but expressions be of inward evils.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    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)
