Famous quotes containing the words mirror and/or side:
“A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self—in the mirror of some woman’s eyes.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She looked down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror cracked from side to side;
“The curse is come upon me,” cried
The Lady of Shalott.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
