Famous quotes containing the word mirrors:

“Our age is very cheap and intelligible. Unroof any house, and you shall find it.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“At bottom, man mirrors himself in things; he considers everything beautiful that reflects his own image: the judgment “beautiful” is the vanity of his species.”

“Of course great hotels have always been social ideas, flawless mirrors to the particular societies they service.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)
