Patrick Rothfuss
Mirrors should think longer before they reflect. Jean Cocteau
The problem for me is that I can’t ever really see who Gregory is, any more than I can see what a mirror by itself looks like, because he reflects whoever’s around him. Elizabeth Chandler

I thought about the word profile and what a weird double meaning it had. We say we’re looking at a person’s profile online, or say a newspaper is writing a profile on someone, and we assume it’s the whole them we’re seeing. But when a photographer takes a picture of a profile, you’re only seeing half the face. It’s never the way you would remember seeing them. You never remember someone ‘in profile. You remember them looking you in the eye, or talking to you. You remember an image that the subject could never see in a mirror, because you are the mirror. A profile, photographically, is perpendicular to the person you know. David Levithan
Books are mirrors you only see in them what you already have inside you. Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Just as the sun in the heaven is unchanged, but is mirrored as a thousand suns in ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans, so do you know the Sun of the Spirit within you from the broken reflections that you find in the lower self. Annie Besant
Her eyes were of different colors, the left as brown as autumn, the right as gray as Atlantic wind. Both seemed alive with questions that would never be voiced, as if no words yet existed with which to frame them. She was nineteen years old, or thereabouts; her exact age was unknown. Her face was as fresh as an apple and as delicate as blossom, but a marked depression in the bones beneath her left eye gave her features a disturbing asymmetry. Her mouth never curved into a smile. God, it seemed, had withheld that possibility, as surely as from a blind man the power of sight. He had withheld much else. Amparo was touched by genius, by madness, by the Devil, or by a conspiracy of all these and more. She took no sacraments and appeared incapable of prayer. She had a horror of clocks and mirrors. By her own account she spoke with Angels and could hear the thoughts of animals and trees. She was passionately kind to all living things. She was a beam of starlight trapped in flesh and awaiting only the moment when it would continue on its journey into forever. Tim Willocks
A broken mirror is good luck if you want it to be. Marty Rubin

We are our memory, we are that chimerical museum of shifting shapes, that pile of broken mirrors. Jorge Luis Borges
A broken mirror can enlarge a face up to a dimension of a small planet. A problem of reflection? A point of view. Lara Biuts
You never want to look in a mirror, Lula said. Men love mirrors. They look at themselves doing the deed and they see Rex the Wonder Horse. Women look at themselves and think they need to renew their membership at the gym. Janet Evanovich
A mirror becomes a razor when it’s broken. Yoko Ono
Looking in the mirror, staring back at me isn’t so much a face as the expression of a predicament. Colin Firth

If all men are made in God’s reflection, then why do some people continue to acknowledge only what is in their part of the mirror? If every man was created equal and in the image of God, then how can any man claim that one race is better than another? Suzy Kassem
But being the mirrors for each other’s souls has a cost by the time they part from each other, the individuals in the mating pair have become indistinguishable. Before their merger, they each yearned for the other; as they part, they part from the self. The very quality that attracted them to each other is also, inevitably, destroyed in their union. Ken Liu

The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart. Fernando Pessoa
Long ago we conquered our passions looking at ourselves in the mirror of eternity. Dejan Stojanovic
Conscience is the mirror of our souls. George Bancroft
People often ask If there’s a God, how can He allow so much suffering in the world? Realize all world suffering you perceive is a mirror to your own psychological self abuse, gender imbalance, prejudice, poverty, and hunger. You couldn’t even perceive each suffering aspect of external reality if it didn’t already exist within you. Touch and transmute your own psychological suffering, and perceive the world in kind. Alexandra Katehakis
I had a dream about you. You were on a bike going 70 miles an hour, I could see you approaching my car in the mirror. You were trying to say something so, I jumped on the brakes as hard as I could, I guess I forgot I had tied your bike on my bumper. Georgia Saratsioti

To live in prison is to live without mirrors. Margaret Atwood
A lot of corpses woke up every morning from their graves. Stood in front of the mirror and wore the masks which made them look alive. Stuck in the vicious circle of death. Scared to break out and scared of falling into the infinite pit of darkness, they beat down their souls that were fighting for an escape, mercilessly every day. They walked out into the world with pain, only to return back to the home, which did not feel like a home anymore, again in the night. They removed their masks in front of the mirror, stared into those empty eyes and walked back to their graves silently, with the fear of waking up again next day and with nothing to celebrate in their heart. Akshay Vasu
I’ve only been in love with a beer bottle and a mirror. Sid Vicious
Your mother says you’ve never passed a mirror you didn’t like. It’s true, in a way. It’s not that you’re vain; you’re concerned. Mirrors are opportunities. They’re random checkpoints throughout the day. Adam Gallari
In the business world, the rear view mirror is always clearer than the windshield. Warren Buffett
The fireworks went on for nearly half an hour, great pulsing strobes, fiery dandelions and starbursts of light brightening both sky and water.

Sol Luckman

The world is a great mirror. It reflects back to you what you are. Thomas Dreier
There must be some kind of internal time distortion effect in here, because when I look at myself in the little mirror above my sink, what I see is my father’s face, my face turning into his. I am beginning to feel how the man looked, especially how he looked on those nights he came home so tired he couldn’t even make it through dinner without nodding off, sitting there with his bowl of soup cooling in front of him, a rich pork and winter melon saturated broth that, moment by moment, was losing or giving up its tiny quantum of heat into the vast average temperature of the universe. Charles Yu

Never leave your seat, dissociate your body from your mind. Greg
The past is like a broken mirror you don’t remember but fleeting glimpses of it, sparse moments over many years, all combined in that distorted and fragmented picture. Whenever you try to gather the fragments of the past, it hurts your soul, just as shards of broken glass hurt your fingertips while trying to collect them from the ground. Ahmed Salah Al Mahdi
Just hate message after hate message, around the clock, all piling on. It’s hard to describe what that does to your head. Tess

Just needed the rules to change, for none to intervene. Jem
Social media is not the culprit. I am not blaming social media. It is a tool. A tool in the hands of people like us. Like any tool, it can be used constructively or destructively. I am simply trying to hold up a mirror to see myself and encouraging you to do the same. Bana
There’s no cure for the Internet, you would never go away. Hector
I always thought the mirror was a strange gift. Would it not have been better to give me something useful, like silks or valuable, like jewels? But I think my husband always suspected that he would meet a violent end and leave me to face the world alone. He told me that should there ever come a time when I needed answers, I would find them in this. I tried looking into it a few times, but whenever I saw my reflection, I was reminded of who was no longer standing beside me. It’s a lonely thing to truly behold yourself. Roshani Chokshi

See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past is not near as important as what’s in your future. Joel Osteen
