Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.”
    —Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)

    “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)

    “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)
