I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.

Quote by Drew Barrymore about shame, love

Whose life, in fact, Death’s or Life’s? I say this because, due to the mirror, we can talk about the Life of Life or the Life of Death, but also about the Death of Life or the Death of Death. No matter what we would talk about, one thing is...

Once I looked into a mirror at my face I felt like it was completely convincing. I was Salieri.

Quote by F. Murray Abraham about face

I've always been surprised at the degree of success of The Mirror and the Lamp and duration of esteem for it. I had no reason to expect in 1953 that it would appeal to more than a specialized group interested in literary criticism.

Quote by M. H. Abrams about criticism, literary critic, reason

I don't think I'm beautiful. When I look in the mirror, I just see me - and, I'm pretty used to me.

Quote by Melanie Griffith

Quote by Michael Jackson about dark, face
