Self Reflection Quotes

...I came to realize that I was always looking for myself in the women I loved. I looked at their lovely, clean faces, and saw myself reflected in them.

Good manners reflect something from inside-an innate sense of consideration for others and respect for self. Emily Post
The serial number of a human specimen is the face, that accidental and unrepeatable combination of features. It reflects neither character nor soul, nor what we call the self. The face is only the serial number of a specimen Milan Kundera
I mean, if you were to find a shattered mirror, find all the pieces, all the shards and all the tiny chips, and have whatever skill and patience it took to put all that broken glass back together so that it was complete once again, the restored mirror would still be spiderwebbed with cracks, it would still be a useless glued version of its former self, which could show only fragmented reflections of anyone looking into it.

My sufferings are part of my self and my art. They are indistinguishable from me, and their destruction would destroy my art. I want to keep those sufferings Edvard Munch
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
Kim Mathers quote: "But music is reflection of self, we just explain it, and then..."
But music is reflection of self, we just explain it, and then we get ourchecks in the mail. Kim Mathers
Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed. Indra Devi
Mainbocher quote: "I have never known a really chic woman whose appearance was..."
I have never known a really chic woman whose appearance was not, in large part, an outward reflection of her inner self. Mainbocher
All along we find that social life - religion, politics, art - reflects the stages reached in the development of the knowledge of self; it shows the social uses made of this knowledge. James M. Baldwin
