It's true that a picture is worth a thousand words, but it's also true that a word is worth a thousand pictures.

About This Quote

When we think of words and pictures, we usually think of words and pictures as two separate things. We see a picture and we read a word, but it is not that simple. Both words and pictures can mean the same thing. Take for instance this quote: “A picture is worth a thousand words, but it's also true that a word is worth a thousand pictures.” When we read the first part of this quote, we might think that it means that a picture is worth more than words.

However, if we look at the second part of the quote, we will understand that both pictures and words have their uses. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a word can also be worth a thousand pictures.
