...mirrors are forgotten
How simple life becomes when things like mirrors are forgotten.
-Daphne du Maurier, novelist (1907-1989)
...false & true ones
The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.
-Salvador Dali, painter (1904-1989)
...only kindness can
Neither genius, fame, nor love show the greatness of the soul. Only kindness can do that.
-Jean Baptiste Henri Lacordaire, preacher, journalist, and activist (1802-1861)
