Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “The romance and mystery is [sic] gone. Computer-processed images have no delicacy, no craftsmanship, no substance, and no soul. No love.”
    —Kim Nibblett (b. c. 1969)

    “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)

    “We picked each other from afar and knew
    What hour of terror comes to test the soul,
    And in that terror’s name obeyed the call,
    And understood, what none have understood,
    Those images that waken in the blood.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
