“Passer les miroirs, ça demande de s'affronter soi-même. Il faut des tripes, t'sais, pour se regarder droit dans les mirettes, se voir tel qu'on est, plonger dans son propre reflet. Ceux qui se voilent la face, ceux qui se mentent à eux-mêmes, ceux qui se voient mieux qu'ils sont, ils pourront jamais. Alors crois-moi, ça ne court pas les trottoirs !”
― Christelle Dabos, Les Fiancés de l'hiver
