The Mirror

«I see my face in the mirror and go, 'I'm a Halloween costume? That's what they think of me?»
«I don't think I'm beautiful. When I look in the mirror, I just see me - and, I'm pretty used to me.»
Author: Melanie Griffith (Actress) | About: Beauty, Self-knowledge | Keywords: The Mirror
«I'm insecure about everything, because... I'm never going to look in the mirror and see this blond, blue-eyed girl. That is my idea of what I'd like to look like.»
«I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.»
«I try not to look at it that way. Being white. I don't wake up every day and look in the mirror, 'Oh. I'm white'.»
Author: Eminem (Rapper) | Keywords: The Mirror
«If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a panic.»
«I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.»
«Look in the mirror, and don't be tempted to equate transient domination with either intrinsic superiority or prospects for extended survival.»
«Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only.»
Author: Samuel Butler | About: Appearance | Keywords: revealing, The Mirror
«In a man's letters you know, Madam, his soul lies naked, his letters are only the mirror of his breast, whatever passes within him is shown undisguised in its natural process. Nothing is inverted, nothing distorted, you see systems in their elements, you discover actions in their motives.»
