Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Words and pictures can work together to communicate more powerfully than either alone.
No matter what your cultural sophistication or what language you speak, everyone can understand images.
There's no question that photographs communicate more instantly and powerfully than words do, but if you want to communicate a complex concept clearly, you need words, too.
One thing that humans still do better than computers is recognize images.
The art of motion pictures is pictorial and language comes a distant second.
Image is an international language.
The language of the moment or, as it were, the language of the order in which we live, is the image. I felt that if I wanted to commune with the public, I should best do so through the language of image. It's a conscious embrace of a contradiction.
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
No one who set out to design a form of communication would ever end up with anything like English, Mandarin, or any of the more than six thousand languages spoken today.
Language is the most extraordinary invention in the history of humanity, the one which came before everything and which makes it possible to share everything.
