Quote by Milan Kundera
A wave of anger washed over me, anger against myself, at my age at the time, that stupid lyrically age, when a man is too great a riddle to himself to be interested in the riddles outside himself and when other people are mere walking mirrors in which he is amazed to find his own emotions, his own worth.

The speaker sees other people as reflections of themselves, and in this state of introspection, they feel perplexed by the emotions and value they see mirrored in others.
