Our inventions mirror our proverb

  Lawrence Durrell

  Galileo Galilei

 I have to look at myself in the mirror and see what I've got to do to make this team better. Everybody has to look in the mirror to see what they are going to do to make this team better. And do it. Don't point the finger. Don't blame the coach. Blame yourself, look in the mirror and come out and play hard. (Expletive) everybody else.

 The world has become uglier since it began to look into a mirror every day; so let us settle for the mirror image and do without an inspection of the original
  Karl Kraus
