Randall Kennedy Law Professor “The infamy of n - - is - it's a word that has been used to terrorize people, to put people down. But it has also been used in other ways. It's also been used as a way of putting a mirror up to racism.” People Mirrors Racism ♥ 3
Virginia Woolf Novelist “Suppose the looking glass smashes, the image disappears, and the romantic figure with the green of forest depths all about it is there no longer, but only that shell of a person which is seen by other people - what an airless, shallow, bald, prominent world it becomes! A world not to be lived in. As we face each other in omnibuses and underground railways we are looking into the mirror that accounts for the vagueness, the gleam of glassiness, in our eyes.” Eye Mirrors Glasses ♥ 3
Saul Bellow Novelist “Death is the black backing on the mirror that allows us to see anything at all.” Black Mirrors ♥ 3

Terry Pratchett Author “I see evil when I look in my shaving mirror. It is, philosophically, present everywhere in the universe in order, apparently, to highlight the existence of good. I think there is more to this theory, but I tend to burst out laughing at this point.” Thinking Order Mirrors ♥ 3
Terry Pratchett Author “When you stand between two mirrors you're spread out among the images, your whole soul is pulled out thin, and somewhere in the distant images a dark part of you might get out and come looking for you, if you aren't careful.” Two Dark Mirrors ♥ 3
Ray Bradbury Author “Far away, in the meadow, shadows flickered in the Mirror's Maze, as if parts of someone's life, yet unborn, were trapped there, waiting to be lived.” Waiting Mirrors Shadow ♥ 3
Vladimir Nabokov Novelist “In this crazy mirror of terror and art a pseudo-quotation made up of obscure Shakespeareanisms (Chapter Three) somehow produces, despite its lack of literal meaning, the blurred diminutive image of the acrobatic performance that so gloriously supplies the bravura ending for the next chapter.” Art Crazy Mirrors ♥ 3
TM Thomas Merton Writer, Monk “You pray best when the mirror of your soul is empty of every image except the Image of the Invisible Father.” Soul Father Mirrors ♥ 3
Tim Walker Photographer “Fantasy isn't something I put into the pictures; I don't try and inject them with a sense of play. But it's about being an honest photographer; a photograph is as much of a mirror of the photographer as it is the subject.” Trying Play Mirrors ♥ 3
