“No sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it. There they are gathered together, blinking up to it with such vision as they have, scanning it from afar, hovering round it this way and that, each cunningly endeavouring, by all arts, to catch some reflex of it in the little mirror of himself.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

“A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self—in the mirror of some woman’s eyes.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
