M.F. Moonzajer

“Mirrors don’t lie. They only show a part of truth. A broken mirror can enlarge a face up to a dimension of a small planet. A problem of reflection? A point of view.”
Lara Biuts, La Lune Blanche. Part Three

And not hate the person staring back at me”

Akshay Vasu
“A lot of corpses woke up every morning from their graves. Stood in front of the mirror and wore the masks which made them look alive. Stuck in the vicious circle of death. Scared to break out and scared of falling into the infinite pit of darkness, they beat down their souls that were fighting for an escape, mercilessly every day. They walked out into the world with pain, only to return back to the home, which did not feel like a home anymore, again in the night. They removed their masks in front of the mirror, stared into those empty eyes and walked back to their graves silently, with the fear of waking up again next day and with nothing to celebrate in their heart.”
Akshay Vasu, The Abandoned Paradise: Unraveling the beauty of untouched thoughts and dreams

“Shakespeare, in some sense, helped create the modern man, didn't he, his influence is that pervasive. He held the mirror up to nature, but he also created that mirror: so the image he created is the very one we hold ourselves up to.”
Jess Winfield, My Name is Will

Sol Luckman
“The fireworks went on for nearly half an hour, great pulsing strobes, fiery dandelions and starbursts of light brightening both sky and water. It was hard to tell which was reality and which was reflection, as if there were two displays, above and below, going on simultaneously—one in space-time, mused Max, and the other in time-space.”
Sol Luckman, Snooze: A Story of Awakening

Charles Yu
“There must be some kind of internal time distortion effect in here, because when I look at myself in the little mirror above my sink, what I see is my father's face, my face turning into his. I am beginning to feel how the man looked, especially how he looked on those nights he came home so tired he couldn't even make it through dinner without nodding off, sitting there with his bowl of soup cooling in front of him, a rich pork-and-winter-melon-saturated broth that, moment by moment, was losing - or giving up - its tiny quantum of heat into the vast average temperature of the universe.”
Charles Yu, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe

“Ich bin gern erlöst von meinem Spiegelbild, von der Frage, wie ich aussehe. Auch ohne Spiegel weiß ich, wie es mir geht, ich brauche diesen Umweg nicht. Es ist mir unangenehm: mich ständig einem Urteil unterwerfen, mit einem Idealbild vergleichen, mit früheren Fotos, mit dem Bild, das andere - wie ich glaube - von mir haben.”
Pauline DeBok, Blankow oder Das Verlangen nach Heimat

Alix E. Harrow
“The mirror showed me you, out of all the possible people in all the universes,' It sounds almost like an apology. 'Why?'
'Well, what were you doing at the time?'
'I was looking into the mirror, obviously. Wishing for a way out.'
'Well, so was I. As it happens.”
Alix E. Harrow, A Mirror Mended

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Mirrors! - Who has ever known you,
Described you? Entered into your very
Being? Holes which appear in time, are filled-in,
Like clear pores of a sieve.

You, squanderers of empty drawing-rooms,
In the dusk broad as the great forests ...
And when the lustre shoots like a stag’s antlers
Down through ways untrodden inside you.

Sometimes you engulf paintings, -
Are stuffed with them, -
Then some are timorously despatched, go past.

But the most beautiful shall remain within you,
Held there till pure Narcissus is unbound and penetrates
Down to a visage comprised in you.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus

“I used to look in the mirror and fall in love with myself more each day. One day that stopped and I didn’t realize it until I started to love myself again.”
Dominic Riccitello

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“It the mirror doesn’t give me much back it’s because it’s not designed to reflect the things within me that make the reflection truly magnificent.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Holly Black
“Look at my face and I am someone,' she whispered in his ear. 'Look at my back and I am no one. Who am I?'

'I don't know,' Oak admitted, a shiver running between his shoulders.

'Your mirror, HIghness,' she said, her breath tickling the hairs on his neck.

And then she slipped away.”
Holly Black, The Prisoner’s Throne

“Raising children is a course in vulnerability. We can’t take care of them in the way they deserve until we can treat our inner child the way she deserved all along. We have to look right into the mirror that children hold up to us and be brave enough to not look away, no matter how much that light burns.”
Robin Brown, Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“Our worst enemy is as close as the nearest mirror.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Sara Desai
“An hour later after we'd christened the bed, we lay side by side staring up at our naked selves. "Jack?"
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"The mirror has to go."
"I like it."
"Do you like what we just did?"
Jack gave a satisfied rumble. "Very much."
"Would you like to do it again? Ever?"
Jack froze as understanding dawned. "I've changed my mind about the mirror."
"I thought you might.”
Sara Desai, 'Til Heist Do Us Part

Sean  DeLaney
“You may run until your feet are raw,
but the mirror will always find you.
In its cold reflection,
the truth of who you are stands waiting,
and no matter how far you go,
only in meeting that gaze
will you unlock the door to your freedom.”
Sean Delaney

“There are so few people who see themselves as they are in the mirror that the poor mirrors blame themselves, thinking it is their own fault!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

Gift Gugu Mona
“The same way a baker sees flour and thinks of a cake, the same way a builder sees bricks and thinks of a building, is the same way you should see yourself in the mirror and think of your big dreams. Every day, remind yourself that you are worth it and will make it.”
Gift Gugu Mona, Exploring the Explosive Power of Big Dreams

“Truth is a mirror; those who fear their reflection break it.”
Aloo Denish Obiero

George Orwell
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again - but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
George Orwell, Animal Farm

Herman Koch
“Happiness, I told myself back then, and still tell myself today- or perhaps one would would do better to speak of satisfaction, rather than happiness- is bound up closely with the acceptance of your own head. Your own body. Your build. There are plenty of things you can do about that body. You can lose weight when you think you're too fat, you can lift weights when you become embarrassed by the way your ribs stick out. But there's not much you can change about your head. The head has a mind of its own. It grows bald when it feels like it. It grows fatter, older, spottier, in a way you'd never thought possible. Visible to all, and not least of all to yourself. You can't hide your head by pulling a T-shirt or a sweater over it. It's there all the time, every hour of the day and night. It looks at you in the mirror. This is it, it says unblinkingly. You'll have to make do with this.”
Herman Koch, The Ditch

Erica Bauermeister
“They are also one of the few species, other than humans, that can recognize themselves in a mirror. That morning, as Nola had faced the image of her wet self over the locker room sink, she’d wondered about the scientists who devised that experiment. Why give a perfectly happy animal a mirror?”
Erica Bauermeister, No Two Persons

“My best and hardest Enemies until Death are my Mirror-Reflection and Gravity.”
Sino Melo

“I agree with Friedrich Hebbel: it's one of the greatest historical Oddities that the Human, who escapes Truth so much, invented the Mirror â€� the Reason for that is most probably that the Urge to excite yourself and others, is stronger than the Fear of Truth.”
Sino Melo

“Now I'm 25 years old and can predict with Certainty that after my Death, People will be slandering about me, who weren't even able to look me into the Eyes without my Permission during my Lifetime. May you freeze through Disgust when you look into the Mirror.”
Sino Melo

“I got Adrenaline from looking into the Mirror.”
Sino Melo

“I wanted to eat my own Mirror Reflection â€� I call it Reflecxtiobro.”
Sino Melo
