Famous quotes containing the word reflected:
“A mothers happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.”
—HonorĂ© De Balzac (17991850)
“I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
By the false azure in the windowpane;
I was the smudge of ashen fluffand I
Lived on, flew on, in the reflected sky.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
