Neither at things, nor at people should one look. Only in mirrors should one look, for mirrors do but show us masks. ~ Oscar Wilde
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Oscar Wilde
You must take these poems as mirrors; for you know that the mirror has no form of itself, but rather reflects the face of anyone who looks in it. Just so a poem has no one particular meaning of itself , but presents to each reader his state of the moment and the completeness of his case ~ Ayn Al-Qazat Hamadani Persian Mystic
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Ayn Al-Qazat Hamadani Persian Mystic
She tasted the day he lost his first job. She tasted the morning he had awakened, still drunk, in his car, in the middle of a cornfield, and, terrified, had sworn off the bottle for ever. She knee his real name. She remembered the name that had once been tattooed on his arm and knew why it could be there no longer. She tasted the color of his eyes from the inside, and shivered at the nightmare he had in which he was forced to carry spiny fish in his mouth, and from which he woke, choking, night after night. She savored the hungers in food and fiction, and discovered a dark sky when he was a small boy and he had stared up at the stars and wondered at their vastness and immensity, that even he had forgotten. ~ Neil Gaiman
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Neil Gaiman
A new building built on old foundation can't last. Maybe for a while; but when the earthquakes come and the floods flow in, it will wash out. A new building built on a new foundation, though, will be able to endure the ground shaking and the waves that come in. To build a new generation of people, a new foundation needs to be built - the old one destroyed. They once destroyed the foundations of old; but those can be built again. Do you seek comfort? Or do you seek Truth? Your comfort has done nothing for you. Funny how looking into a mirror can cause so much discomfort. I have held many mirrors up for you. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Spherical Mirrors quotes by C. JoyBell C.
If you 35, 28, or 30 years old, and you decide you're gonna pick up a rag and start bangin', and you can look yourself in the mirror and you still feel like you're a man? That's cool, do your thing. ~ Nipsey Hussle
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Nipsey Hussle
My true relationship is with myself - all others are simply mirrors of it. ~ Shakti Gawain
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Shakti Gawain
Journalism and popular fiction have merged, and the graphic and the plausible have become an end in themselves. The contemporary public plainly prefers mirrors to windows. ~ Gore Vidal
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Gore Vidal
Water, whether still or in motion, has so great an attraction for the lover of nature, that the most beautiful landscape seems scarcely complete without it. There are no effects so fascinating as those produced by the reflexions in nature's living mirror, with their delicacy of form, ever fleeting and changing, and their subtle combinations of colour. ~ William Montagu-Pollock
Spherical Mirrors quotes by William Montagu-Pollock
In England everything is liberalised. Within certain boundaries and rules everybody can do what he likes. Maybe London's society has a different tempo, a different dynamic. London is fast, productive, creative but it is not England. If you want to transfer that to football, you could say: in the four big English clubs and maybe in the one or two behind them there is a top level. Everything that comes after that rather mirrors English society. It's honest, fair and hard, sometimes also fast, but not always so perfect. ~ Jens Lehmann
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Jens Lehmann
When you write a song it's sometimes in a desperate moment whn you can't really articulate it. What I love about lyrics is what T.S. Eliot said: 'Good poetry is felt before it is heard.' I'm a believer in that. It's those moments when you sit yourself down, and talk to yourself in the mirror. ~ Marcus Mumford
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Marcus Mumford
And in this city a man will go mad with paresis, another with terror, a third will drown himself and the newspapers will report death from cancer and cerebral hemorrhage among our leading citizens, and there will casual mention of various epidemics, of lust murders, of famine and starvation, and the decline of Utilities on the New York Exchange. But all that's forgotten tonight, God's asleep. And if you have any questions to ask about the chaotic conditions on this little spherical toy of his, you'll have to refer them to his secretary, who will send you form letter No. X99 explaining that accidents will happen and that of course God's ways are necessarily rather obscure to man. ~ Tennessee Williams
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Tennessee Williams
That an author's work is the mirror of his mind is a position that has led to very false conclusions. If Satan himself were to write a book it would be in praise of virtue, because the good would purchase it for use, and the bad for ostentation. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him? ~ Bill Watterson
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Bill Watterson
Since I'm in the entertainment business, I think I have to hold a mirror up to myself and say, 'Am I complicit in miseducating and misinforming our youth by participating in this business, or can I use this business to re-educate and uplift?' ~ Hill Harper
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Hill Harper
Literature is claimed to be a mirror of the world," I said, "but the Outlanders are fooling themselves. The BookWorld is as orderly as people in the RealWorld *hope* their own world to be - it isn't a mirror, it's an aspiration. ~ Jasper Fforde
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Jasper Fforde
The whiskey warmed his tongue and the back of his throat, but it did not change his ideas any, and suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar, he knew that drinking was never going to do any good to him now. Whatever he had now he had, and it was from now on, and if he drank himself unconscious when he woke up it would be there. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
Hate hates what it mirrors or envies. ~ T.F. Hodge
Spherical Mirrors quotes by T.F. Hodge
Surely there had been no figure leaning on the back of his chair; no face looking over it. It is certain that no gliding footstep touched the floor, as he lifted up his head, with a start, and spoke. And yet there was no mirror in the room on whose surface his own form could have cast its shadow for a moment; and, Something had passed darkly and gone! ~ Charles Dickens
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Charles Dickens
I don't want to do something just for money or fame; I have to enjoy working on it! If I start to work for everyone and everything, I could not look at myself in the mirror again. ~ Marilou
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Marilou
Darwin singled out the eye as posing a particularly challenging problem: 'To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.' Creationists gleefully quote this sentence again and again. Needless to say, they never quote what follows. Darwin's fulsomely free confession turned out to be a rhetorical device. He was drawing his opponents towards him so that his punch, when it came, struck the harder. The punch, of course, was Darwin's effortless explanation of exactly how the eye evolved by gradual degrees. Darwin may not have used the phrase 'irreducible complexity', or 'the smooth gradient up Mount Improbable', but he clearly understood the principle of both. 'What is the use of half an eye?' and 'What is the use of half a wing?' are both instances of the argument from 'irreducible complexity'. A functioning unit is said to be irreducibly complex if the removal of one of its parts causes the whole to cease functioning. This has been assumed to be self-evident for both eyes and wings. But as soon as we give these assumptions a moment's thought, we immediately see the fallacy. A cataract patient with the lens of her eye surgically removed can't see clear images without glasses, but can see enough not to bump into a tree or ~ Richard Dawkins
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Richard Dawkins
I have never seen white so absolute / And alone, glistening in awkward form / Dreaming across the water a bright path. / As it stirs and changes I see what it is: / Two swans have found the mirror in the lake / Where a V of horizon lets light through / To make them light-source and light-shape in one. / Now they swim and fade through windows of reed / And disrobe the lake of apparition. ~ John O'Donohue
Spherical Mirrors quotes by John O'Donohue
On your worst days do not look in the mirror and call yourself pretty. Call yourself trying, call yourself surviving, call yourself learning how to get through a day, a week, a month or year. Call yourself still learning. ~ Meggie Royer
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Meggie Royer
Yes, sir, thank you, sir, and I wouldn't trust me one little inch, sir. I knows a bad one when I sees them. I have a mirror. ~ Terry Pratchett
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Terry Pratchett
Madness plants mirrors in the desert. I find the means frightening. ~ Floriano Martins
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Floriano Martins
The year is done. I spread the past three hundred sixty-five days before me on the living room carpet. Here is the month I decided to shed everything not deeply committed to my dreams. The day I refused to be a victim to the self-pity. Here is the week I slept in the garden. The spring I wrung the self-doubt by its neck. Hung your kindness up. Took down the calendar. The week I danced so hard my heart learned to float above water again. The summer I unscrewed all the mirrors from their walls. No longer needed to see myself to feel seen. Combed the weight out of my hair. I fold the good days up and place them in my back pocket for safekeeping. Draw the match. Cremate the unnecessary. The light of the fire warms my toes. I pour myself a glass of warm water to cleanse myself for january. Here I go. Stronger and wiser into the new. ~ Rupi Kaur
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Rupi Kaur
Self-knowledge involves relationship. To know oneself is to study one self in action with another person. Relationship is a process of self evaluation and self revelation. Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself - to be is to be related. ~ Bruce Lee
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Bruce Lee
Maybe you saw her first? Caught a glimpse between the lines, between the letters, like a ghost in the mirror, a ghost in the wings? ~ Mark Z. Danielewski
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Mark Z. Danielewski
The mind of a painter should be like a mirror which is filled with as many images as there are things placed before him. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
These flattering mirrors reflect imperfectly what is within; the countenance is often a gay deceiver. What defects of mind lie hidden under its beauty! What fair exteriors conceal base souls! ~ Pierre Corneille
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Pierre Corneille
Admiring yourself?" The Inquisitor's voice but through his reverie. "You wont look so pretty when the Clave gets through with you."
"You do seem obsessed with my looks." Jace turned away from the mirror with some relief. "Could it be that all this is because you're attracted to me? ~ Cassandra Clare
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Cassandra Clare
If you are fearful, a horse will back off. If you are calm and confident, it will come forward. For those who are often flattered or feared, the horse can be a welcome mirror of the best in human nature. ~ Clare Balding
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Clare Balding
Attitudes are like mirrors, they reflect towards anyone that's looking. ~ Karl Kloppenborg
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Karl Kloppenborg
I suppose I do get sad, but not for too long. I just look in the mirror and go, 'What a fucking good-looking fuck you are.' And then I brighten up. ~ Liam Gallagher
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Liam Gallagher
My reflection in the mirror shows me pink and puffy. I thought pregnant women were to supposed to glow. I am not glowing. ~ Audrey Niffenegger
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Audrey Niffenegger
There's a convention that books are mirrors of the real world, but our fact-obsessed age also wants fiction to be factually based and trustworthy. ~ Jim Crace
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Jim Crace
What it sees there isn't so much a face as the expression of a predicament. ~ Christopher Isherwood
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Christopher Isherwood
I look in the mirror and see a few scars, but I like myself. ~ Steven Adler
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Steven Adler
What attracted me about my mirrors was the idea of having nothing manipulated in them. A piece of bought mirror. Just hung there, without any addition, to operate immediately and directly. Even at the risk of being boring. Mere demonstration. The mirrors, and even more the Panes of Glass, were also certainly directed against Duchamp, against his Large Glass. ~ Gerhard Richter
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Gerhard Richter
Gussie, a glutton for punishment, stared at himself in the mirror. ~ P.G. Wodehouse
Spherical Mirrors quotes by P.G. Wodehouse
I had turned my mind from my survival just as a man suffering from a deadly sickness manages by a thousand tricks never to look at death squarely; or rather, as a woman alone in a large house refrains from looking into mirrors, and instead busies herself with trivial errands, so that she may catch no glimpse of the thing whose feet she hears at times on the stairs. ~ Gene Wolfe
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Gene Wolfe
See yourself being a master of gratitude in the future. Mentally picture how this will help you feel joy the moment you are awake and are grateful for being alive. See how you can be grateful and happy for each breath. Realize that when you master gratitude, you will see a happy face every time you look into the mirror. See how your entire quality of life will be improved. See how other people will tell you that they enjoy being around you because you are such a happy person. ~ Zelig Pliskin
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Zelig Pliskin
But I also think when we embark on intimate relationships, we make a basic human promise to be decent, to hold a flattering mirror up to each other, to be respectful as we explore each other. ~ Lena Dunham
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Lena Dunham
You can't remove that layer of pain by just saying, "Okay, I'm not going to wallow in it." The only way to remove that layer of pain is to face what it says and to recognize it as the look in the mirror that it is, reflecting the things you did that you wish you hadn't done and the things you didn't do that you wish you had done. ~ Marianne Williamson
Spherical Mirrors quotes by Marianne Williamson
