Famous quotes containing the words mouth and/or mirrors:
“I know the compassion of others is a relief at first. I don’t despise it. But it can’t quench pain, it slips through your soul as through a sieve. And when our suffering has been dragged from one pity to another, as from one mouth to another, we can no longer respect or love it.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
“My own voice spoke to people,
anyone, friends, strangers on the street, saying,
“I am Mr. Rabbit.” The flesh itself had become mad
and at three mirrors this was confirmed.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
