Bertolt Brecht quote: "Art is not a mirror. Art is a hammer."
Art is not a mirror. Art is a hammer. Bertolt Brecht
In spite of all evidence that life is discontinuous, a valley of rifts, and that random chance plays a great part in our fates, we go on believing in the continuity of things, in causation and meaning. But we live on a broken mirror, and fresh cracks appear in its surface every day. Salman Rushdie
I decided to lock myself in. A forced segregation. Sabbatical. A retreat into myself. My selves. Play hide and go seek in the looking-glass. The mirror angled at the foot of my bed. Twisted reflections bouncing off into infinity. Obsessed with my image, the myriad of distored figurines who danced in front of me in rapid succession, every feature exaggerated, every slight imperfection a new delicacy. Lydia Lunch
You are a volume in the divine book A mirror to the power that created the universe Whatever you want, ask it of yourself Whatever you’re looking for can only be found Inside of you Rumi
William Makepeace Thackeray quote: "Life is a mirror: if you frown at it, it frowns back; if you..."
Life is a mirror: if you frown at it, it frowns back; if you smile, it returns the greeting. William Makepeace Thackeray
If I looked in the mirror someday and saw no dark circles under my eyes, I would probably look better. I just wouldn't look like me. Sarah Vowell
For I do not exist: there exist but the thousands of mirrors that reflect me. With every acquaintance I make, the population of phantoms resembling me increases. Somewhere they live, somewhere they multiply. I alone do not exist. Vladimir Nabokov
Here is a list of terrible things, The jaws of sharks, a vultures wings. The rabid bite of the dogs of war, The voice of one who went before, But most of all the mirror's gaze, Which counts us out our numbered days. Clive Barker
Traveling through the Dragon's Den, it has just been explained that Haroun, the Ifrit, has been caught in a mirror trap. Here is the passage that follows:"So," said Silas. "Now there are only three of us."And a pig," said Kandar [the mummy]"Why?" Asked Miss Lupescu, with a wolf-tongue, through wolf teeth. "Why the Pig?"It's lucky," said Kandar. Miss Lupescu growled, unconvinced."Did Haroun have a pig?" asked Kandar, simply. Neil Gaiman
Wes Anderson quote: "What happened to your hand? It got hit by a mirror. How'd..."
What happened to your hand? It got hit by a mirror. How'd that happen? I lost my temper at myself. Wes Anderson
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "There are some things more important than physical survival...."
There are some things more important than physical survival. You gotta be able to look at yourself in the mirror. Laurell K. Hamilton
When at last he surrendered, Florentino Ariza hung the mirror in house, not for the exquisite frame but because of the place inside that for two hours had been occupied by her beloved reflection Gabriel Garcia Marquez
What do you want? You can't want to be happy, because that's too easy and too boring. You can't want only to love, because that's impossible. What do you want? You want to justify your life, to live it as intensely as possible. That is at once a trap and a source of ecstasy. Try to be alert to that danger and experience the joy and the adventure of being that woman who is beyond the image reflected in the mirror. Paulo Coelho
