“People should be blessed in life with friends who are both "Mirrors & Shadows"! Mirrors don't lie & shadows never leave.”

“We go on our enchanted way
And deem our hours immortal hours,
Who are but shadow kings that play
With mirrored majesties and powers.”

“For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom.
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside.
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide.
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey.”

“And it is very much lamented,…
That you have no such mirrors as will turn
Your hidden worthiness into your eye
That you might see your shadow.”

“Neither at things, nor at people should one look. Only in mirrors should one look, for mirrors do but show us masks.”

“The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.”

“People always leave traces. No person is without a shadow.”

“Creative people see Prometheus in a mirror, never Pandora.”

“People who live in society have learned how to see themselves in mirrors as they appear to their friends. I have no friends. Is that why my flesh is so naked?”

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the naughtiest of them all?”
