Imagery Quotes

Poetry is a dissociating and anarchic force which through analogy, associations and imagery, thrives on the destruction of known relationships Picture Quote #1

The worst forms of tyranny, or certainly the most successful ones, are not those we rail against but those that so insinuate themselves into the imagery of our consciousness, and the fabric of our lives, as not to be perceived as tyranny Picture Quote #1

The life of the consciousness is boundless. It interpenetrates the world and is woven in all its imagery. Therefore, we must listen closely to our inner voice Picture Quote #1

Women have always collected things and saved and recycled them because leftovers yielded nourishment in new forms. The decorative functional objects women made often spoke in a secret language, bore a covert imagery. When we read these images in needlework, in paintings, in quilts, rugs and scrapbooks, we sometimes find a cry for help, sometimes an allusion to a secret political alignment, sometimes a moving symbol about the relationships between men and women Picture Quote #1

The type of adverts to be found on television and in glossy magazines are visually designed to have a power over the mind before they can even be questioned. The dark side of my work, primarily concerns the internal mechanisms of visual imagery and how these mechanisms address the mind Picture Quote #1

From time to time, from the endless flow of our mental imagery, there emerges unexpectedly something that, vague though it may be, seems to carry the promise of a form, a meaning, and, more important, an irresistible poetic charge Picture Quote #1

At the same time that I’m finding the color world I want, I’m also trying to make the imagery, you know, by the nature of the strokes themselves Picture Quote #1

In creating a work of art, the psyche or soul of the artist ascends from the earthly realm into the heavenly. There, free of all images, the soul is fed in contemplation by the essences of the highest realm, knowing the permanent noumena of things. Then, satiated with this knowing, it descends again to the earthly realm. And precisely at the boundary between the two worlds, the soul’s spiritual knowledge assumes the shapes of symbolic imagery: and it is these images that make permanent the work of art. Art is thus materialized dream, separated from the ordinary consciousness of waking life Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that abstract form, imagery, color, texture, and material convey meaning equal to or greater than words Picture Quote #1

I think a fragrance is all about sensations and imagery, and can evoke visions, feelings and thoughts Picture Quote #1

The practice of imagination, on an everyday basis, involves clearing unhelpful images that block or misdirect our energies, and choosing to focus on positive, mobilizing imagery that gives us courage and confidence Picture Quote #1

I begin a book with imagery, more than I do with an idea or a character. Some kind of poetic image Picture Quote #1

I originally wanted to embrace the imagery and forthrightness of rap music. There are some interesting, dynamic voices in rap. But I find most of it irresponsible in its overt violence and commercialization of anger. As artists, we believe we can will action through language. If that’s the case, we have to take responsibility for what we say Picture Quote #1

When I first started painting candyland imagery, I was looking for the best possible metaphor for everything that is pleasure, desire and insatiability Picture Quote #1

I’m not a planner. I should be more articulate about what the imagery means, but I don’t have a good reason for it; it’s just there Picture Quote #1

Visual journaling allows us to access our inner language of imagery and express it both verbally and visually, while exploring the connection between image and word Picture Quote #1

Music and art are two very different activities for me. However, the use of imagery links them, and invention is important for both Picture Quote #1

You take a painting, you have a white, virginal piece of canvas that is the world of purity, and then you put your imagery on it, and you try to bring it back to the original purity Picture Quote #1

The use of mental imagery is one of the strongest and most effective strategies for making something happen for you Picture Quote #1

I do have a lot of sexual imagery in my performance. But I don’t think it’s ever encouraging anyone to have sex. I think I just show my own sexuality, but I don’t think I’ve ever really written about having sex or anything like that Picture Quote #1

We may live without her, and worship without her, but we cannot remember without her. How cold is all history, how lifeless all imagery, compared to that which the living nation writes, and the uncorrupted marble bears! Picture Quote #1

The world rarely shrieks its meaning at you. It whispers, in private languages and obscure modalities, in arcane and quixotic imagery, through symbol systems in which every element has multiple meanings determined by juxtaposition Picture Quote #1

A genius is the man in whom you are least likely to find the power of attending to anything insipid or distasteful in itself. He breaks his engagements, leaves his letters unanswered, neglects his family duties incorrigibly, because he is powerless to turn his attention down and back from those more interesting trains of imagery with which his genius constantly occupies his mind Picture Quote #1

Arguments are like eels: however logical, they may slip from the minds weak grasp unless fixed there by imagery and style Picture Quote #1

Imagery is not past but present. It rests with what we call our mental processes to place these images in a temporal order Picture Quote #1

The synagogues of late antiquity and the early medieval period were built around imagery: imagery of remembering the Temple, but also of the celestial zodiac, too Picture Quote #1

Archaeologists have used aerial photographs to map archaeological sites since the 1920s, while the use of infrared photography started in the 1960s, and satellite imagery was first used in the 1970s Picture Quote #1

I’ve been attracted to imagery and occasionally I’ve drawn from it, but I never thought I’d be painting these paintings. I didn’t have any desire to. I didn’t think there was any reason to Picture Quote #1

Content, it dreams awake, and spins the fabric of tales. There is really nothing to be done with such imagery except to use it: in writing, in art Picture Quote #1

The imagery is very much released from reality. It’s not nailed down to specifics of the words. They’re painting a picture, not telling linear stories Picture Quote #1
