Reflected

Famous quotes containing the word reflected:

    The war was a mirror; it reflected man’s every virtue and every vice, and if you looked closely, like an artist at his drawings, it showed up both with unusual clarity.
    George Grosz (1893–1959)

    A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    They are not callow like the young of most birds, but more perfectly developed and precocious even than chickens. The remarkably adult yet innocent expression of their open and serene eyes is very memorable. All intelligence seems reflected in them. They suggest not merely the purity of infancy, but a wisdom clarified by experience. Such an eye was not born when the bird was, but is coeval with the sky it reflects. The woods do not yield another such a gem.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
