“She looked in the mirror and thought today
'What happened to miss no-longer-afraid?”

“It is time to reassess what has happened in the 20th century, and to look at it with a longer lens.”

“If you make it, great. If you miss it - what's there to be afraid of?”

“What does a mirror look at?”

“She was convinced that she was anorexic, because every time she looked in the mirror she did indeed see a fat person.”

“Well, what? Sophie-"
"I hit her on the head with a mirror," Sophie said hopelessly. "One of those silver-backed ones, so it was quite heavy. She went down just like a stone, miss. So I… I tied her to the bed and I came looking for you.”

“She stood in front of the mirror a long time, and finally decided she either looked like a sap or else she looked very beautiful. One or the other.”

“Maybe she couldn't know who she was today. Maybe it was enough to know that she was no longer who she was before.”

“When I look in the mirror, I know I’m looking at someone who isn’t sure she deserves to be loved at all.”

“She had wondered, when he’d looked into her eyes and said that he’d had to learn to make do without mirrors in the Wild Hunt, whose eyes he’d been looking into for all those years. Who’d been his mirror.
Now she knew.”
