The mirror sighed and spoke in a tone tinged with melancholy. Its language was old and not of any of the worlds known or unknown. What you dream, what you darkly desire, Find it by trial or by fire. Seek it high and seek it low, Search the skies or the realms below. Look everywhere but beware, The deepest magic, the strongest spell Will not change what the stars foretell. Sukanya Venkatraghavan
About This Quote

The Mirror of Erised is a magical mirror that allows you to look into the future. The mirror is said to be haunted by the ghost of its former owner, who has been trapped in the mirror for centuries. The mirror will show its user only their deepest desires, but it will never give them what they want.This quote reminds me of my life. Let's say I wanted to be friends with someone.

I think about this person all day everyday. I wonder if they are thinking about me, if they are happy with their life, or maybe even if they miss me. When I look into the mirror, I see my past mistakes and failures, but no hope for the future.

It is only when you reach for the stars that you realize that there aren't any stars to reach for. And then you realize that you're just dreaming and there is no such thing as magic after all.
