Picture

Famous quotes containing the word picture:

    The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men’s theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical it’s because she doesn’t quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which man’s picture of woman to live up to.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    no picture is made to endure nor to live with
    but it is made to sell and sell quickly
    with usura, sin against nature,
    is thy bread ever more of stale rags
    is thy bread dry as paper,
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    A great man is a new statue in every attitude and action. A beautiful woman is a picture which drives all beholders nobly mad.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
