Reflect

Famous quotes containing the word reflect:

    Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.
    Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)

    When we reflect upon the cruelties daily practised upon such of the animal creation as are given us for food, or which we ensnare for our diversion, we shall be obliged to own that there is more of the savage in human nature than we are aware of.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
