Mimic Quotations
Cunning... is but the low mimic of wisdom.
Plato
Human intelligence is a reflection of the intelligence that produces everything. In knowing, we are simply extending the intelligence that comes to and constitutes us. We mimic the mind of God, so to speak. Or better, we continue and extend it.
Huston Smith
I have always been a good mimic.
Robin Wright Penn
Before I do a movie, I watch Meryl Streep movies over and over. It's not to mimic her. It's to remind myself to be more committed.
Daphne Zuniga
Yes, we do mimic our parents in a lot of ways.
Deana Carter
We ape, we mimic, we mock. We act.
Laurence Olivier
