Mirror Mirror

by Gregory Maguire

Leave hesitation and scruples to small minds, to plebeians and subordinates.

Faith is a floor. If you don’t work at making it for yourself, you have nothing to walk on.”

Faith may cloud our eyes or open them; who can say?—but it’s up to us to invent our intentions, and live up to them, or fail at the duty.
