Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.”
    —René Magritte (1898–1967)

    “How clean the sun when seen in its idea,
    Washed in the remotest cleanliness of a heaven
    That has expelled us and our images . . .
    The death of one god is the death of all.
    Let purple Phoebus lie in umber harvest,
    Let Phoebus slumber and die in autumn umber....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “What images are these
    That turn dull-eyed away,
    Or shift Time’s filthy load,
    Straighten aged knees,
    Hesitate or stay?
    What heads shake or nod?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
