Mirrors

Famous quotes containing the word mirrors:

    Our age is very cheap and intelligible. Unroof any house, and you shall find it. The well-being consists in having a sufficiency of coffee and toast, with a daily newspaper; a well glazed parlor, with marbles, mirrors and centre-table; and the excitement of a few parties and a few rides in a year.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    My own voice spoke to people,
    anyone, friends, strangers on the street, saying,
    “I am Mr. Rabbit.” The flesh itself had become mad
    and at three mirrors this was confirmed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Of course great hotels have always been social ideas, flawless mirrors to the particular societies they service.
    Joan Didion (b. 1935)
