Image
We crave support in vanity, as we do in religion, and never forgive contradictions in that sphere.
George Santayana
Image
Vanity makes people ridiculous, pride odious, and ambition terrible.
Richard Steele
Image
Flattery is a counterfeit money which, but for vanity, would have no circulation.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Any man who talks about his love affairs thereby proves he is ignorant of love and is moved only by vanity.
Stendhal
Image
We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our being we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others, and for this purpose we endeavor to shine. We labor unceasingly to adorn and preserve this imaginary existence and neglect the real.
Blaise Pascal
Image
My vanity is I'm terribly romantic! But being married is lovely.
Matthew Macfadyen
Image
I think what kind of destroyed the franchise, in some ways, was ego and vanity. When that element of ego and vanity that's sitting there in the franchise right now gets pushed aside, I think the whole thing could be re-tooled. I think it's the type of franchise that has years in it, and has lots of legs.
Joe Flanigan
Image
Men prominent in life are mostly hard to converse with. They lack small-talk, and at the same time one doesn't like to confront them with their own great themes.
Max Beerbohm
Image
The hardest thing to cope with is not selfishness or vanity or deceitfulness, but sheer stupidity.
Eric Hoffer
Image
For some natures, changing their opinions is just as much a requirement of cleanliness as changing their clothes: for others, however, it is merely a requirement of vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When we live our lives not for vanity, but for the sake of God and the betterment of humanity, that's what gives us immortality.
Louis Farrakhan
Image
The meaning of life is 'the ultimate questioner's vanity.'
Kedar Joshi
Image
Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.
Albert Camus
Image
Building intelligent machines can teach us about our minds - about who we are - and those lessons will make our world a better place. To win that knowledge, though, our species will have to trade in another piece of its vanity.
Astro Teller
Image
It's not vanity, because if you look weird, it will distract from what your trying to do. If you look as good as you can, people will be able to pay attention to what your actually saying.
Tina Fey
Image
Vanity, fear, desire, competition - all such distortions within our own egos - condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other.
Tennessee Williams
Image
Virtue would go far if vanity did not keep it company.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
All I have left is my anger at the foolishness of the world. The unnecessary cruelties, the pomposity and vanity of people who should know better. Most of the time I just want to shake some sense into the world.
Stephen Hunt
Image
Vanity as an impulse has without doubt been of far more benefit to civilization than modesty has ever been.
William E. Woodward
Image
Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
Vanity and pride of nations vanity is as advantageous to a government as pride is dangerous.
Baron de Montesquieu
Image
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. Our dogs will love and admire the meanest of us, and feed our colossal vanity with their uncritical homage.
Agnes Repplier
Image
I think a lot of female actors have a real fear of not looking their best. They learn to prize their vanity over a role in which they have to look like a moron. They're worried they'll damage their sex appeal. Thankfully, I have no problem looking like a moron!
