“It’s very difficult to feel contempt for others when you see yourself in the mirror.”

“… even a mirror will not show you yourself, if you do not wish to see.”

“Desire is like fog on a bathroom mirror -- its presence incites you to wipe the mirror, and see yourself clearly again.”

“I experienced that sinking feeling you get when you know you have conned yourself into doing something difficult and there's no going back.”

“The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome.”

“(…) To take the world as real and one’s self as unreal is ignorance, the cause of sorrow. To know the self as the only reality and all else as temporal and transient is freedom, peace and joy. It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things as imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face. The thought ‘I am’ is the polishing cloth. Use it.”

“Like all of my fictions, Sinner is a mirror. Look into it and you will find yourself. What you do with what you see is your choice.”

“It's a good idea to carry a small mirror in your pocket, which will give you a reflection of yourself before you judge others.”

“No matter how long you stand there examining yourself naked before a mirror, you'll never see reflected what's inside.”

“Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.”
