Famous quotes containing the word images:

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

    “Wisdom and Spirit of the universe!
    Thou Soul that art the eternity of thought,
    That givest to forms and images a breath
    And everlasting motion,”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
