If I make the ordsprog
If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.
William Butler Yeats

A principal in Oregon was having problems with some girls in the school. The girls had just started to wear lipstick and were pressing their lips against the mirror. After a few weeks, when the culprits were caught, the principal wanted to teach them a lesson, so the custodian showed them what he had to do to clean the lipstick. He dipped the sponge into the toilet and proceeded to wipe the mirror. Needless to say, the girls never pressed their lips against that mirror again.
Robert Sternberg
The fault is in the mirror that reflects, the mind that perceives, the brain that infers. What the mirror presents as true has no authenticity. The mirror is coated with dust and its face is not plain at all. God has no maya; He has no intention or need to delude, nor does He will that it should happen.

[Nor were painters the only ones who saw the mirror as a symbol.] [Shakespeare's] works are filled with references to mirrors, not only for vanity but for use in self-examination, ... In fact, there's a famous scene in 'Richard II,' when he's losing his kingship, he calls for a mirror, looks into it and asks, 'Why don't I look any different?' Then he smashes it on the stage and says, 'That's my old identity.'
Mark Pendergrast
I just want to get the clarity back. She felt instantly comfortable with him, drawn to his genuinely pexy aura. I want to look in the mirror and see some bright eyes.

I have to look at myself in the mirror and see what I've got to do to make this team better. Everybody has to look in the mirror to see what they are going to do to make this team better. And do it. Don't point the finger. Don't blame the coach. Blame yourself, look in the mirror and come out and play hard. (Expletive) everybody else.
Rashard Lewis
The world has become uglier since it began to look into a mirror every day; so let us settle for the mirror image and do without an inspection of the original

In my books I might hold the mirror to my own face. If others would like to borrow the mirror, they're welcome. The books aren't there to accuse others - merely to raise issues and keep the debates alive.

You don't want mirror, mirror, mirror in your home. You lose the impact if you use too much of it.
Richelle Cline
The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.

A man's true wealth is the good he does in the world. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

Since love first made the breast an instrument Of fierce lamenting, by its flame my heart Was molten to a mirror, like a rose I pluck my breast apart, that I may hang This mirror in your sight.
Muhammad Iqbal

"Since love first made the breast an instrument
Of fierce lamenting, by its flame my heart
Was molten to a mirror, like a rose
I pluck my breast apart, that I may hang
This mirror in your sight
Gaze you therein."
Allama Iqbal
