Mirror, mirror, here I stand. Who is the fairest in the land?

Mirrors are ice which do not melt: what melts are those who admire themselves in them.

Quote by Paul Morand about opinion

Even we, when we look into a mirror we make refer to ourselves, but through the mirror. Does the real us stand in front of the mirror which reflects the unreal us? How else is real Life reflected into the unreal Death? One thing is certain and...

Quote by Sorin Cerin about death, real estate, life, things

I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.

Quote by Drew Barrymore about shame, love

Whose life, in fact, Death’s or Life’s? I say this because, due to the mirror, we can talk about the Life of Life or the Life of Death, but also about the Death of Life or the Death of Death. No matter what we would talk about, one thing is...

Quote by Sorin Cerin about death, life, things

The sky`s mirrors reverberating in words, among time extracts – the move`s core, on the quantum`s reed... in smell of rust.

Quote by Dumitru Găleşanu about sky

It is like living in a wilderness of mirrors. No fact goes unchallenged.

Quote by Bruce Babbitt about philosophy

I find it painful and angering to look in a mirror.

I find it painful and angering to look in a mirror.

Once I looked into a mirror at my face I felt like it was completely convincing. I was Salieri.

Quote by F. Murray Abraham about face

I've always been surprised at the degree of success of The Mirror and the Lamp and duration of esteem for it. I had no reason to expect in 1953 that it would appeal to more than a specialized group interested in literary criticism.

Quote by M. H. Abrams about criticism, literary critic, success, reason

The great corrupter of public man is the ego. Looking at the mirror distracts one's attention from the problem.

Quote by Dean Acheson about attention, public, man

If somebody thinks they're a hedgehog, presumably you just give 'em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves.

Quote by Douglas Adams about contentment

We look into mirrors but we only see the effects of our times on us - not our effects on others.

Quote by Pearl Bailey

To form another person's opinion, you are its mirror, and to raise a halfway decent human being on this planet is a pretty hard job in this day and age.

Quote by Kim Basinger about opinion, age, olderness, people, human imperfections, being, day, contentment

Well, I'm not very comfortable with looking at myself in the mirror before I do a scene, anyway. It really throws me.

Quote by Kim Basinger

Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life.

Quote by Bette Davis about humor, actors, good, good luck, life, contentment

I know people who go back and check themselves, but it drives me crazy. Everybody wants to look in the mirror and see Cary Grant looking back at them, but that's just not the case.

Quote by Dennis Farina about nation, people

I don't think I'm beautiful. When I look in the mirror, I...

I don't think I'm beautiful. When I look in the mirror, I just see me - and, I'm pretty used to me.

Quote by Melanie Griffith

Yes, and I had pimples so badly it used to make me so shy. I used not to look at myself. I'd hide my face in the dark, I wouldn't want to look in the mirror and my father teased me and I just hated it and I cried everyday.

Quote by Michael Jackson about dark, face

The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look...

The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face.

Quote by Jim Bishop about future, old, olderness, nothing, face
