Picture Types

Famous quotes containing the words picture and/or types:

“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)

“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
