Cabo Frio - Images

Famous quotes containing the word images:

“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)

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images of the Lord, thy God, nor of men who are his creatures.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)

“It is not the literal past, the “facts” of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.”
—Brian Friel (b. 1929)
