Famous quotes containing the word picture:
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Well, Mary, only six more days to go and your old Nathan will be out of the army. Havent decided what Ill do yet. Somehow I just cant picture myself back there on the banks of the Wabash rocking on a front porch. No, Ive been thinkin I, maybe Ill push on west, new settlements, California.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
“When youve been blind as long as I have, you learn to see through your senses. I cant explain it exactly, but you get a feeling about people when you meet them. You see a picture of them in your mind. Not just what they look like, but what they really are. You see them much more clearly than you do with your eyes. Maybe thats why they say looks are deceptive.”
—George Bricker. Jean Yarbrough. Helen Page (Jane Adams)
