Playing an icon [superman], you don't try to be an icon because that defeats the purpose. The responsibility attached is enormous, and the realization that it actually really, really matters meant that I wanted to put the most amount of work into representing the character properly.

Icons Quotes : pic 000517434
Not to rag on myself, but when people say, 'What does it feel like to be an icon?' I'm like, 'My dog does not think I'm an icon, my cat does not think I am an icon, my cousin does not think I am an icon.' I have a really lovely group of friends, and I just don't think about it.

Icons Quotes : pic 001037263

Icons Quotes : pic 000393850
A picture was once a rare sort of symbol, rare enough to call for attentive concentration. Now it is the actual experience that is rare, and the picture has become ubiquitous.

Know what a symbol is? ... Shit that stands for shit.
Icons Quotes : pic 001835889

iconoclastically.
Icons Quotes : pic 001092737
Frequently these loaded images or objects are used by me without my attaching a particular significance to them. In other words, what I'm doing is letting whatever power, whatever affect they have, work on its own.
Icons Quotes : pic 000580708
I am not an icon of democracy. You are all, collectively, the icon of democracy.
Icons Quotes : pic 001578220
Symbols give us our identity, our self image, our way of explaining ourselves to ourselves and to others. Symbols in turn determine the kinds of stories we tell, and the stories we tell determine the kind of history we make and remake.
Icons Quotes : pic 000698437
If people are like, 'Oh, you're an icon,' then whatever. But who thinks of themselves like that? It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall.
Icons Quotes : pic 000323430
When the symbols are 'public' they usually act in an oblique manner, revealing themselves as archetypal symbols, which though familiar, have their central meanings obscured as is usual in esoteric imagery.
Icons Quotes : pic 001460854
Fonts. I get emotional over fonts.
Icons Quotes : pic 000492170
Figures are clear and open, they hold nothing hidden, no secret they will not tell.
Icons Quotes : pic 000950480
An icon didn't do anything of its own volition. A symbol didn't act of its own accord. Both cities projected what they wanted onto me, and wanted me to stay still as they did it.
Icons Quotes : pic 001653925
I am the showstopper. The main event. The Icon that can still go.
Icons Quotes : pic 000193151
I like all the old-fashioned icons. My friends are artists, so they make me up to look like certain people. I am more inspired by people like Jane Fonda or Brigitte Bardot - people who did something as activists.
Icons Quotes : pic 001367970
The function of (heroic) symbols is to give you a sense of Aha! Yes, I know what it is, it's myself.
Icons Quotes : pic 001198988
We make our own symbols, after the event has passed and begun to spoil.
Icons Quotes : pic 001867778
Images are ... a kind of emotional shorthand.
Icons Quotes : pic 000858570
I don't have any style icons, but I get inspiration from my friends. My style motto is that it is better to be overdressed than underdressed.
Icons Quotes : pic 000541714
... consider the meaning of these images. Every time you're working with them, ask yourself: what do they mean? And, even more important, what do they mean to me? The more specific and personal something is, the more its universality emerges.
Icons Quotes : pic 000827929
Being cross-genre, you can encounter an image and decide not only how to best express it but what form would express it best.
Icons Quotes : pic 001324459

The strongest logos tell simple stories.
Icons Quotes : pic 000857337
The way people communicate is changing, and no one knows this better than teens. We are using images to talk to each other, to communicate what we're doing, what we're thinking, and to tell stories.
Icons Quotes : pic 001173849
An icon painter starts not with Jesus Christ but by finding earth and rubbing. Now what is earth, what are you rubbing in directing?
Icons Quotes : pic 001056210
Images are not quite ideas, they are stiller than that, with less implication outside themselves. And they are not myth, they do not have the explanatory power; they are nearer to pure story. Nor are they always metaphors; they do not say this is that, they say this is.
Icons Quotes : pic 000490939
They've found a way to privately, or within a small family group, share expressions, or other images, drawings, and then gain access to some of the world's great expressions and images and make them real, make them tangible.
Icons Quotes : pic 001725041
Cultural icons stand the test of time because they speak to our deeper convictions and ignite our dreams.
Icons Quotes : pic 000902528
No symbols where none intended.
Icons Quotes : pic 001052282
Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images,
Icons Quotes : pic 000334652
Symbols need not limit their scope to this pendulum swing of images.
Icons Quotes : pic 001553711
Those sweetly smiling angels with pensive looks, innocent faces, and cash-boxes for hearts.
Icons Quotes : pic 001824263
Things are symbols of themselves.
Icons Quotes : pic 001004274
Being a pop fan is a lot like Catholic devotion - lots of ritual, lots of ceremony ... We touch the icon to enter the sacred space, genuflecting to reliquaries and ostentatoria that make something splendid of our most secret desires and agonies.
Icons Quotes : pic 000926856
The fact that an icon would even utter my name or have any idea of who I am is absolutely unreal.
Icons Quotes : pic 000721821
What good are images if people understand them?
Icons Quotes : pic 001180233
Stars entertain us. Icons do something much more. They embody us. They tell us something about who we are and who we want to be. They are both a mirror and a shaping force.
Icons Quotes : pic 000106342
You couldn't see the soldiers as people. They were icons.
Icons Quotes : pic 000428736
Something that is supposed to typify or stand for something else. Many symbols are mere "survivals" - as funereal urns carved on memorial monuments. We cannot stop making them, but we can give them a name that conceals our helplessness.
Icons Quotes : pic 000756279
Forget horror icon, Kety Bates is an icon. She's an acting icon. I was raised on so many of her films, everything from Misery to Fried Green Tomatoes to Delores Claiborne, all films that I've watched multiple times and been inspired by.
Icons Quotes : pic 001005051
When something is iconic, if you're very careful and delicate, you can add onto that iconography. It can expand. People have attached so much to it themselves, and connected to it, so the risks are big, but the potential is enormous, at the same time.
Icons Quotes : pic 001442303
You'll get this kind of psychological relationship to the imagery of the music, but that idea is translated to iPhone apps. It's translated to the small, you know, kind of icons on your computer. You name it.
Icons Quotes : pic 001351071
My beauty icons are women whose images are self-created.
Icons Quotes : pic 000757577
The great style icons are tomboys
Icons Quotes : pic 001527433
They represent the most dangerous kind of shape changers: those who cannot see, because of darkness beyond the gesture of the moment
Icons Quotes : pic 000308622
They are thought pictures -- the outstanding headlands of the meandering shores of life, and are points to steer by on the broad sea of thought and experience. They body forth in living forms and colors the ever varying lights and shadows of the soul.
Icons Quotes : pic 001849006
A symbol serves to combine heart and intellect.
Icons Quotes : pic 000228048
The magnificence of such objects hardly pertains to the human. They live only in a world of icons and there they participate in rituals which transmute life itself to a series of grand gestures, as moving as they are absurd.
Icons Quotes : pic 000378074
There are no more simple images ... The world is too much for an image. You need several of them, a chain of images ...
Icons Quotes : pic 001405760
The image is an image.
Icons Quotes : pic 000161297
Since I'm inarticulate, I express myself with images.
Icons Quotes : pic 000702055
My two style icons are Edie Sedgwick and Brigitte Bardot.

Icons Quotes : pic 001450028
It is war now, and armies need symbols.
Icons Quotes : pic 001822372
Logos are a graphic extension of the internal realities of a company.
Icons Quotes : pic 000178296
But when you read a book, what you see are black squiggles on pulped wood or, increasingly, dark pixels on a pale screen. To transform these icons into characters and events, you must imagine. And when you imagine, you create.
Icons Quotes : pic 000016999
The lives of the poor are rich in symbols.
Icons Quotes : pic 000928229
An idea, in the highest sense of that word, cannot be conveyed but by a symbol.
Icons Quotes : pic 001852025
Images are the pegs holding down memory's billowing tent.
Icons Quotes : pic 001070794
Didn't need the user icon to know you're white and male.
Icons Quotes : pic 000540249
If it's just a symbol, then
to hell with it !
Icons Quotes : pic 000389437

Icons Quotes : pic 001040026
Everything I do is a symbol. Everything, has a meaning.
Icons Quotes : pic 001666827
With spots quadrangular of diamond form, ensanguined hearts, clubs typical of strife, and spades, the emblems of untimely graves.
Icons Quotes : pic 001801130
FIGURE 3.1 Stars
Icons Quotes : pic 000677046
Everyone in Tool is interested in how we present our music. We write a group of songs that have a vibe, energy and feeling, and then we try to pick an image to capture that and communicate a feeling. We want something that adds to the connection with the audience.
Icons Quotes : pic 001219431
Every photograph is the result of a physical imprint transferred by light reflections onto a sensitive surface. The photograph is thus a type of icon, or visual likeness, which bears an indexical relationship to its object.
Icons Quotes : pic 001336955
Iris GL (GL is short for "graphics library").
Icons Quotes : pic 000204946
The thing I regret most about my life are those inane photos of me with icons. They used to come down here and dress me up, and I just tolerated it. It's my fault. But I shouldn't have done it. They literally brought down costumes, candles, and icons! It was unbelievable stupidity.
Icons Quotes : pic 001667812
I've been dealing with epic images, and I realized all of a sudden that I grew up in the age of epics.
Icons Quotes : pic 000907619
The reality comes first, and the symbol comes after. I see these things, and suddenly they become symbolic of life.
Icons Quotes : pic 001055390

Icons Quotes : pic 000891766
Symbols are miracles we have recorded into language.
Icons Quotes : pic 001605729
The word 'iconic' is used too frequently - an icon is a statue carved in wood. It was shocking at first, when I got that reference. It was a responsibility, and it's impossible to live up to - you're supposed to be dead, for one thing.
Icons Quotes : pic 001369456
Fashion icon to me is somebody who has, the first person who struck you and introduced you to the world of fashion, and that person is my mom.
Icons Quotes : pic 000974304
In this sorry world, the symbol is the thing.
Icons Quotes : pic 000481225

Icons Quotes : pic 001703621
If ever I were to have a symbol attributed to me, it would be a heart, the outline!
Icons Quotes : pic 001246200
Man's achievements rest upon the use of symbols ... we must consider ourselves as a symbolic, semantic class of life, and those who rule the symbols, rule us.
Icons Quotes : pic 000086020
I think of many of my photographs as being obviously symbolic but not symbolically obvious. There isn't any specific correlation between the symbols in this image and any content that I have in mind.
Icons Quotes : pic 001005210
They are representations of many shared hours of collaboration between us all. That's the real nature of the relationship the orchestra and I are trying to build.
Icons Quotes : pic 000754832
An image is not simply a trademark, a design, a slogan or an easily remembered picture. It is a studiously crafted personality profile of an individual, institution, corporation, product or service.
Icons Quotes : pic 000575280
Images adorn our inner life and carry great power there.
Icons Quotes : pic 000887817

Icons Quotes : pic 000541721
Give yourself to the images which are, in fact, already there.
Icons Quotes : pic 000971060
The language of images [of inner-oriented artists] does not follow a code structure that is evident and widely accepted, but is more likely to be a complex of symbols that have a profound meaning for the artists themselves.
Icons Quotes : pic 001525517
Since my childhood, I have always made works with polka dots. Earth, moon, sun and human beings all represent dots; a single particle among billions.
Icons Quotes : pic 001186358
As we transform ourselves into creatures of the screen, we face an existential question: Does our essence still lie in what we know, or are we now content to be defined by what we want? If we don't grapple with that question ourselves, our gadgets will be happy to answer it for us.
Icons Quotes : pic 000544266
Right, my phone. When these things first appeared, they were so cool. Only when it was too late did people realize they are as cool as electronic tags on remand prisoners.
Icons Quotes : pic 000684958
I am a symbol of my soul.
