Picture

Famous quotes containing the word picture:

“He is no mystic, either, more than Newton or Arkwright or Davy, and tolerates none. Not one obscure line, or half line, did he ever write. His meaning lies plain as the daylight.... It has the distinctness of picture to his mind, and he tells us only what he sees printed in largest English type upon the face of things.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“So long as a man-of-war exists, it must ever remain a picture of much that is tyrannical and repelling in human nature.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“the sun blew out of sight
like a red picture hat....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
