Femeia în fața oglinzii by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, Daniel Nicolescu

Insights from Femeia în fața oglinzii

“Solitude is not a lack, it is a plenitude.”

Anne stays true to herself despite the pressure of her wedding day in Bruges. She finds more peace in the forest than in her silk dress.

“Maybe I'm not sick, maybe I'm just me.”

Hanna spends her life analyzing everyone else but forgets to look at her own heart. Even in Vienna, success feels empty when you live for others.

“I am a void that needs to be filled by the eyes of others.”

Anny chases fame in Hollywood to hide from her own skin. She realizes a camera lens can never replace a loving gaze.

“The mirror shows the surface, never the soul.”

The mirror is often a liar. These three women see someone unrecognizable staring back because society handed them the wrong reflection.
