“My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.”
John Lennon
“I would rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.”
E. E. Cummings

James Matthew Barrie
“How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.”
Albert Einstein
“When I go to see a movie, if I can't engage emotionally then it doesn't affect me and I can't get anything out of it. When you look at a movie that doesn't reflect your reality [time after time], eventually you're going to get tired and pick up a book.”
Toni Collette
“I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection”
Thomas Paine
“Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.”
