Whoever stares into water seeking his own reflection will drown in his own image, because the man who falls in love with himself falls in love with an illusion, and illusions demand worship but give nothing back. you will spend your life feeding a mirror that can never feed you, loving a shadow that can never love you, serving a god that is only you. Now you're beautiful and completely alone, and the water only shows you what you've become, not what you've lost
