Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “The world is for thousands a freak show; the images flicker past and vanish; the impressions remain flat and unconnected in the soul. Thus they are easily led by the opinions of others, are content to let their impressions be shuffled and rearranged and evaluated differently.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “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)

    “The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world of its own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)
