Reflection Quotes

I surrender it to God, knowing that the pain itself is a product or a reflection of how I am interpreting whatever it is that is causing me pain. Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief. I try to be kinder to myself. I give myself time to move through and to process whatever is making me sad.

Just imagine living in a world without mirrors. You'd dream about your face and imagine it as an outer reflection of what is inside you.

And you'd know quite clearly what you are unable to grasp: your face is not you.
Milan Kundera

Self-reflection is so healthy. Journaling works for me - when I record the details of what I'm going through, whether it's a relationship issue or negative thoughts, I can look back and see how far I've come. It makes me proud to see my progress and how I got through a bad situation.

On reflection, moral judgment in the arts appears rather as a tribute to their power to influence emotion and possibly conduct.

Jacques Barzun

Puppies, like all babies, grow up fast. Before long, Gracie was no longer barking at her reflection, instead offering a blase look that seemed to say, 'I know what that is now. I know it's not another dog.'
