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
The reign of imagagology begins where history ends. – Milan Kundera
Logicians may reason about abstractions. But the great mass of men must have images. The strong tendency of the multitude in all ages and nations to idolatry can be explained on no other principle. – Thomas Babington Macaulay
Metaphors are much more tenacious than facts. – Paul De Man
We operate with nothing but things which do not exist, with lines, planes, bodies, atoms, divisible time, divisible space — how should explanation even be possible when we first make everything into an image, into our own image! – Friedrich Nietzsche
The Image is more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed with energy. – Ezra Pound
