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 (1803–1882)

    ““And what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
