Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world of its own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images of the Lord, thy God, nor of men who are his creatures.”
    —Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    “In an age of synthetic images and synthetic emotions, the chances of an accidental encounter with reality are remote indeed.”
    —Serge Daney (1944–1992)
