Many truths which are not believed are called lies, ' the Laughing Beast said. 'Mirrors do not themselves lie unless they have been enchanted. Ordinary mirrors merely reflect what is revealed to them. People lie and mirrors reflect people. If your mother feared mirrors in your land, she feared herself. Isobelle Carmody
About This Quote

The mirror in this quote is not a magic mirror that can show you what you want to see. It’s a magical mirror that reflects what is really happening. It’s the mirror that shows us our true selves, not what we say or want to see. If you always tell yourself you are weak, ugly, stupid, etc., the mirror will always show you that image.

If you are honest with yourself, the mirror will reflect your true self. As it turns out, this is very important if you ever decide to take on a job or task where you have to make other people believe you don’t suck.
