There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

For some reason I can't explain artist and musicians tend to look younger than our age. Being in music you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what you're doing and keep your imagination open. That's a youthful way of looking at life and I think that reflects in how you age.

Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass through a thousand bosoms without losing a particle of its original ray nay when it strikes on a kindred heart like the converged light on a mirror it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected till it is shared.

There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects rather an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world.

No my work does not reflect my sexual preferences it reflects the fact that I feel total freedom as an artist.

The Pledge of Allegiance reflects the truth that faith in God has played a significant role in America since the days of the founding of our country.

In a free society government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it.
