Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “No healthy man, in his secret heart, is content with his destiny. He is tortured by dreams and images as a child is tortured by the thought of a state of existence in which it would live in a candy store and have two stomachs.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.”
    —Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)

    “For such an advanced civilization as ours to be without images that are adequate to it is as serious a defect as being without memory.”
    —Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
