Famous quotes containing the word images:

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

    “... I am an instrument in the shape/of a woman trying to translate pulsations/into images for the relief of the body/and the reconstruction of the mind.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “Imagination could hardly do without metaphor, for imagination is, literally, the moving around in one’s mind of images, and such images tend commonly to be metaphoric. Creative minds, as we know, are rich in images and metaphors, and this is true in science and art alike. The difference between scientist and artist has little to do with the ways of the creative imagination; everything to do with the manner of demonstration and verification of what has been seen or imagined.”
    —Robert A. Nisbet (b. 1913)
