Mirrors are never to be trusted.
The mirror reflects perfectly; it makes no mistakes because it doesn’t think. To think is to make mistakes.[O espelho refl ete certo; não erra porque não pensa. Pensar é essencialmente errar.]
A mirror shows the truth, but everyone stands in a different place for looking into the mirror.
You use a glass mirror to see your face: you use works of art to see your soul.
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.
A man’s manners are the mirror in which he shows his portrait.
