Reflecting Quotes (page 9)

Increase of knowledge only discovered to me more clearly what a wretched outcast I was. I cherished hope, it is true, but it vanished when I beheld my person reflected in water or my shadow in the moonshine, even as that frail image and that inconstant shade. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Frustration is a function of our expectations, and our expectations are often a reflection of the social mirror rather than our own values & priorities Stephen Covey

A degree of narcissism is necessary, I suppose, to look in the pool to see your reflection. (Bono) Bono
The Martians were there—in the canal—reflected in the water.... The Martians stared back up at them for a long, long silent time from the rippling water.... Ray Bradbury
Sometimes, she reflected, she dressed for courage, sometimes for success, and sometimes for the consolation of knowing that whatever else went wrong, at least she liked her clothes. Emma Bull
So this is how they lived. For some time Theo, like a tree living in the shadow of taller trees, found a way to live off reflected light. Dave Eggers
It's important to be heroic, ambitious, productive, efficient, creative, and progressive, but these qualities don't necessarily nurture soul. The soul has different concerns, of equal value: downtime for reflection, conversation, and reverie; beauty that is captivating and pleasuring; relatedness to the environs and to people; and any animal’s rhythm of rest and activity. Thomas Moore
The policy of the emperors and the senate, as far as it concerned religion, was happily seconded by the reflections of the enlightened, and by the habits of the superstitious, part of their subjects. The various modes of worship, which prevailed in the Roman world, were all considered by the people, as equally true; by the philosopher, as equally false; and by the magistrate, as equally useful. And thus toleration produced not only mutual indulgence, but even religious concord. Edward Gibbon
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows. Audrey Hepburn
Against the censurers of brevity. - Something said briefly can be the fruit of much long thought: but the reader who is a novice in this field, and has as yet reflected on it not at all, sees in everything said briefly something embryonic, not without censuring the author for having served him up such immature and unripened fare. Friedrich Nietzsche
Nature at times adds her own commentary to our actions with a kind of somber and considered eloquence, as though she were bidding us reflect. Victor Hugo
What deceived me was my own happiness; for peace is indivisible, and the surrounding world confusion found no reflection inside me. John Knowles
Terry Prachett quote: "He reflected briefly that someone up there was watching over..."
He reflected briefly that someone up there was watching over him. 'Thanks a lot,' he said bitterly. Terry Prachett
Feeling it, trying to understand the suns that shone on it, the rains that fell on it, and the snows that covered it. And to wonder where I was when each thing happened to it in its lonely place, where I was, what I was doing, who I was loving, how I was getting along, where I was. I’d hold it, read it, feel it... and look at my own face in whatever reflection might be left. Stephen King
If you are in a country that is progressive, the woman is progressive. If you're in a country that reflects the consciousness toward the importance of education, it's because the woman is aware of the importance of education. But in every backward country you'll find the women are backward, and in every country where education is not stressed its because the women don't have education. Malcolm X
