Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or image:
“We come altogether fresh and raw into the several stages of life, and often find ourselves without experience, despite our years.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The image cannot be dispossessed of a primordial freshness, which idea can never claim. An idea is derivative and tamed. The image is in the natural or wild state, and it has to be discovered there, not put there, obeying its own law and none of ours. We think we can lay hold of image and take it captive, but the docile captive is not the real image but only the idea, which is the image with its character beaten out of it.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
