Famous quotes containing the word images:

“We picked each other from afar and knew
What hour of terror comes to test the soul,

—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate.

—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“We are all of us imaginative in some form or other, for images are the brood of desire ...”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
