A representation of anything to the mind; a picture drawn by the fancy; a conception; an idea.
A picture, example, or illustration, often taken from sensible objects, and used to illustrate a subject; usually, an extended metaphor.
The figure or picture of any object formed at the focus of a lens or mirror, by rays of light from the several points of the object symmetrically refracted or reflected to corresponding points in such focus; this may be received on a screen, a photographic plate, or the retina of the eye, and viewed directly by the eye, or with an eyeglass, as in the telescope and microscope; the likeness of an object formed by reflection; as, to see one's image in a mirror.
To represent or form an image of; as, the still lake imaged the shore; the mirror imaged her figure.
To represent to the mental vision; to form a likeness of by the fancy or recollection; to imagine.

Image Quotations
Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.
Buddha
Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life.
Aristotle
If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.
Voltaire
Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.
Ayn Rand
The country that is more developed industrially only shows, to the less developed, the image of its own future.
Karl Marx
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Send forth the child and childish man together, and blush for the pride that libels our own old happy state, and gives its title to an ugly and distorted image.
Charles Dickens
At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top - I'm afraid that's not quite right.
Bill Gates
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.
Stephen Hawking
