Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or images:

    “When I turned into a parent, I experienced a real and total personality change that slowly shifted back to the “normal” me, yet has not completely vanished. I believe the two levels are now superimposed, with an additional sprinkling of mortality intimations.”
    —Sonia Taitz (20th century)

    “Those images that yet
    Fresh images beget,
    That dolphin-torn, that gong-tormented sea.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
