Hot Mirrors

Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or mirrors:

“We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“Of course great hotels have always been social ideas, flawless mirrors to the particular societies they service.”
