“The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.”

“See with your mind, Speak with your heart,Touch with your eyes, Love with your entire being.”

“In the ladies' room, Alice studied her image in the mirror. The reflected older woman's face didn't quite match the picture that she had of herself in her mind's eye.”

“I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is void. The void is a mirror. I see my face and feel loathing and horror. My indifference to man has shut me out. I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams.”
