Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
Gaston Bachelard

If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotized by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.
Robert Hewison

If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.
Vaclav Havel

Imagery is not past but present. It rests with what we call our mental processes to place these images in a temporal order.
George H. Mead

Images adorn our inner life and carry great power there.
William Shirley

Images contaminate us like viruses.
Paul Virilio

Images have a unique power to impart that which is beyond words.
William Shirley

Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
Damien Hirst

In an age of synthetic images and synthetic emotions, the chances of an accidental encounter with reality are remote indeed.
Serge Daney

Wallace Stevens

Initially, the horrific images of September 11th triggered an enormous wave of solidarity.
Ulrich Beck

Invention, strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory; nothing can come of nothing.
Joshua Reynolds

Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
Andy Warhol

It is normal for me to wake and find myself writing in the dark... or to be out of my tomb, caught in an unearthly world, alive with the images that haunt me.
Kim Elizabeth

It's incredible, but I think a lot of people it shot over their heads 'cause they're used to just getting images and messing around with them, and for us to do something quite so 'designed' was a bit of a shock.
Sean Booth

It's still not easy to find roles that offer more complex images of women.
Susan Sarandon

It's the same with visual arts, you have some really cool, wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more.
Ville Valo

Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don't get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images.
Fay Godwin

More than anything, there are more images in evil. Evil is based far more on the visual, whereas good has no good images at all.
Lars von Trier

Moreover, photography has made it possible to fix these images and now provides us with a permanent record of each observed spectrum, which can be measured out at any time.
