Famous quotes containing the word pictures:
“I now require this of all pictures, that they domesticate me, not that they dazzle me. Pictures must not be too picturesque. Nothing astonishes men so much as common-sense and plain dealing. All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I hate cheap pictures. I hate pictures that make people look like theyre not worth much, just to prove a photographers point. I hate when they take a picture of someone pickin their nose or yawning. Its so cheap. A lot of it is a big ego trip. You use people as props instead of as people.”
—Jill Freedman (b. 1939)
“Then my verse I dishonour, my pictures despise,
My person degrade & my temper chastise;
And the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame;
And my talents I bury, and dead is my fame.”
—William Blake (17571827)
