Reflective Quotes (page 38)

The elderly are spooky when they degenerate into reflections of their younger selves. They say things that make sense on some grammatical level, but it’s not always connected to reality. Scott Adams
So what I realized when I was a child was that if I were traveling as fast as light while holding a mirror before me, I would not see my image in the mirror, because as fast as the image of my face in light moved toward the mirror, why, just as fast would the mirror be moving away... It is a rather frightening idea, in fact, that if I moved at the speed of light, I could get no confirmation of my existence from an objective source of reflected light such as a mirror. I would be like a ghost... E. L. Doctorow
Haruki Murakami quote: "No matter how long you stand there examining yourself naked..."
No matter how long you stand there examining yourself naked before a mirror, you'll never see reflected what's inside. Haruki Murakami
Sink into morbid, cynical reflection on how much romantic heartbreak is to do with ego and miffed pride rather than actual loss Helen Fielding
The everlasting universe of things. Flows through the mind, and rolls its rapid waves, Now dark--now glittering--now reflecting gloom--Now lending splendour, where from secret springs. The source of human thought its tribute brings. Percy Bysshe Shelley
There was no moon but the night sky was a riot of crisp and glittering autumn stars. There were streetlights too and lights on buildings and on bridges which looked like earthbound stars and they glimmered repeated as they were reflected with the city in the night water of the Thames. It’s fairyland thought Richard. Neil Gaiman
Harriet Beecher Stowe quote: "The power of fictitious writing, for good as well as for evil,..."
The power of fictitious writing, for good as well as for evil, is a thing which ought most seriously to be reflected upon. Harriet Beecher Stowe
Edith Wharton quote: "Two ways to be a light for all, is to be a flaming candle or..."
Two ways to be a light for all, is to be a flaming candle or the mirror that reflects it Edith Wharton
John Donne quote: "That soul that can reflect upon itself, consider itself, is..."
That soul that can reflect upon itself, consider itself, is more than so. John Donne
I feel exquisite pleasure in dwelling on the recollections of childhood, before misfortune had tainted my mind, and changed its bright visions of extensive usefulness into gloomy and narrow reflections upon self. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
We had a notion to get out and join the sixty soldiers, but upon reflecting that there were four hundred of the Indians, we concluded to go on and join the Indians. Mark Twain
Laura says - Everybody's faith needs testing from time to time, I thought it would be amusing to introduce you to someone with a Tina Turner album, and see whether you still felt the same. Rob reflects - ...tonight, I have to confess (but only to myself) that maybe, given the right set of peculiar, freakish, probably unrepeatable circumstances, it's not what you like but what you're like that's important. Nick Hornby
As surely as the sunset in my latest Novembershall translate me to the ethereal world, and remind me of the ruddy morning of youth; as surely as the last strain of music which falls on my decaying earshall make age to be forgotten, or, in short, the manifold influences of naturesurvive during the term of our natural life, so surely my Friend shall forever be my Friend, and reflect a ray of God to me, and time shall foster and adorn and consecrate our Friendship, no less than the ruins of... Henry David Thoreau
Solitude, I reflected, is the one deep necessity of the human spirit to which adequate recognition is never given in our codes. It is looked upon as a discipline or penance, but hardly ever as the indispensable, pleasant ingredient it is to ordinary life, and from this want of recognition come half our domestic troubles. Freya Stark
You know that apple Adam ate in the Garden of Eden, referred to in the Bible?' he asked. 'You know what was in that apple? Logic. Logic and intellectual stuff. That was all that was in it. So—this is my point—what you have to do is vomit it up if you want to see things as they really are....' The trouble is,' Teddy said, 'most people don't want to see things the way they are. They don't even want to stop getting born and dying all the time, instead of stopping and staying with God, where... J. D. Salinger
