Famous quotes containing the word picture:
“I hate cheap pictures. I hate pictures that make people look like they’re not worth much, just to prove a photographer’s point. I hate when they take a picture of someone pickin’ their nose or yawning. It’s so cheap. A lot of it is a big ego trip. You use people as props instead of as people.”
—Jill Freedman (b. 1939)
“The three of you together. Now that’s a picture only Charles Addams could draw.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
