Reflection Pond

Famous quotes containing the words reflection and/or pond:

    With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    This pond never breaks up so soon as the others in this neighborhood, on account both of its greater depth and its having no stream passing through it to melt or wear away the ice.... It indicates better than any water hereabouts the absolute progress of the season, being least affected by transient changes of temperature. A severe cold of a few days’ duration in March may very much retard the opening of the former ponds, while the temperature of Walden increases almost uninterruptedly.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
