## You can certainly reference images and external pages. See page 192 of the Pickaxe book.

The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a  
proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and  
oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.  
-Paul Valery, poet and philosopher (1871-1945)
