Famous quotes containing the word images:
“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)
“Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Style a tablet at every noon time, Lady,
With bold images of a timid boy!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
