![Vanity Quotes By Blake Crouch Vanity Quotes By Blake Crouch](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-blake-crouch-76926.jpg)
You think man can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity. Earth has survived everything in its time. It will certainly survive us. To the earth ... a million years is nothing. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try. We've been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we're gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us. Michael Crichton — Blake Crouch
![Vanity Quotes By Elizabeth Schechter Vanity Quotes By Elizabeth Schechter](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-elizabeth-schechter-179895.jpg)
I pulled on the restraints, frustrated, hurting, and completely devastated. I could feel tears sliding down my skin, into my ears, and back over my scalp.

![Vanity Quotes By Charles Caleb Colton Vanity Quotes By Charles Caleb Colton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-charles-caleb-colton-172620.jpg)
Some philosophers would give a sex to revenge, and appropriate it almost exclusively to the female mind. But, like most other vices, it is of both genders; yet, because wounded vanity and slighted love are the two most powerful excitements to revenge, it has been thought, perhaps, to rage with more violence in the female heart. — Charles Caleb Colton

![Vanity Quotes By John Derbyshire Vanity Quotes By John Derbyshire](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-john-derbyshire-86254.jpg)
The problem is hedonism. The problem is the preening vanity and selfishness of 'coming out,' of parading private inclinations, of a kind that repel normal people, as if those inclinations were, all by themselves, marks of authenticity and virtue, of suffering and oppression. — John Derbyshire
![Vanity Quotes By Stefan Zweig Vanity Quotes By Stefan Zweig](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-stefan-zweig-131192.jpg)

![Vanity Quotes By Ronald Duncan Vanity Quotes By Ronald Duncan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-ronald-duncan-152549.jpg)
Where in this wide world can a person find nobility without pride, friendship without envy or beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is laced with muscle and strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility, he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent; there is nothing so quick, nothing more patient. — Ronald Duncan
![Vanity Quotes By Marcel Proust Vanity Quotes By Marcel Proust](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-marcel-proust-84504.jpg)

![Vanity Quotes By Jo Nesbo Vanity Quotes By Jo Nesbo](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-jo-nesbo-86765.jpg)
They maintain he wrote The Art of War. Personally, I believe it was a woman. On the surface, The Art of War is a manual about tactics on the battlefield, but at its deepest level it describes how to win conflicts. Or to be more precise, the art of getting what you want at the lowest possible price. The winner of a war is not necessarily the victor. Many have won the crown, but lost so much of their army that they can only rule on their ostensibly defeated enemies' terms. With regard to power, women don't have the vanity men have. They don't need to make power visible, they only want the power to give them the other things they want. Security. Food. Enjoyment. Revenge. Peace. They are rational, power-seeking planners, who think beyond the battle, beyond the victory celebrations. And because they have an inborn capacity to see weakness in their victims, they know instinctively when and how to strike. And when to stop. You can't learn that, Spiuni. — Jo Nesbo
![Vanity Quotes By Denis O'Hare Vanity Quotes By Denis O'Hare](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-denis-ohare-134349.jpg)
It's pretty crazy. I was thinking about that today, how 'True Blood' has penetrated so much of the cultural zeitgeist. It's truly amazing; it's incredible! The cover of 'Rolling Stone' is major. What's next, the cover of 'Vanity Fair?' When I'm in a 'New Yorker' cartoon, then I will feel like I have made it. — Denis O'Hare
![Vanity Quotes By Richard Greenberg Vanity Quotes By Richard Greenberg](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-richard-greenberg-176844.jpg)
I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind. — Richard Greenberg
![Vanity Quotes By Gabrielle Zevin Vanity Quotes By Gabrielle Zevin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-gabrielle-zevin-151267.jpg)
Despite what I said before, it had not been a fear of infecting other people or poor health that had stopped me from going, but vanity.
It was a good lesson. — Gabrielle Zevin
![Vanity Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche Vanity Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-friedrich-nietzsche-164131.jpg)
One will seldom go wrong if one attributes extreme actions to vanity, average ones to habit, and pretty ones to fear. — Friedrich Nietzsche
![Vanity Quotes By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Vanity Quotes By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-johann-wolfgang-von-goethe-137621.jpg)
Ill-humor is nothing more than an inward feeling of our own want of merit, a dissatisfaction with ourselves which is always united with an envy that foolish vanity excites. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
![Vanity Quotes By Karen Traviss Vanity Quotes By Karen Traviss](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-karen-traviss-141266.jpg)
Your prowess with a lightsaber is childish vanity. Your physical Force powers are no more than a conjurer's trick, sleight of hand to dazzle the ordinary beings you should be serving. You profane these powers by using them as weapons in war. And you fail to grasp the single, simple, uncompromising duty of the true Jedi. The Jedi is the rock-lion at the gate who says, "I will defend these beings with my life, and that is the sum of me." Etain Tur-Mukan died to save one life, a man she did not even know, but felt compelled to save, and that is what made her stronger in the Force and a truer Jedi than any of you acrobats, tricksters, and specious, empty philosophers. — Karen Traviss
![Vanity Quotes By Corra May Harris Vanity Quotes By Corra May Harris](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-corra-may-harris-185859.jpg)
Not everything you hear about yourself can be considered good publicity. And if you have delicate sensibilities, the currycomb of public imagination frequently rubs your vanities the wrong way. — Corra May Harris
![Vanity Quotes By Arthur Schopenhauer Vanity Quotes By Arthur Schopenhauer](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-arthur-schopenhauer-137967.jpg)
And, as a general rule, it is more advisable to show your intelligence by saying nothing than by speaking out; for silence is a matter of prudence whilst speech has something in it of vanity — Arthur Schopenhauer
![Vanity Quotes By Andre Maurois Vanity Quotes By Andre Maurois](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-andre-maurois-152094.jpg)
The reputation of a Don Juan gives to a man the most dangerous power. Wise virgins resist it, but foolish virgins frequently yield to the desire to take a celebrated lover from a rival - even from a friend. This emotion is a complex one, mad up of vanity, respect for another woman's taste, and the need to establish self-assurance by winning a difficult victory. Don Juan chose his first mistresses; later he was chosen. — Andre Maurois
![Vanity Quotes By George Sarton Vanity Quotes By George Sarton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-george-sarton-150769.jpg)
The rationalism of the creative minds was tempered by abundant fantasies, and the supreme beauty of the monuments was probably spoiled by the circumambient vanities and ugliness; in a few cases the Greeks came as close to perfection as it was possible to do, yet they were human and imperfect. — George Sarton
![Vanity Quotes By Francois De La Rochefoucauld Vanity Quotes By Francois De La Rochefoucauld](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-francois-de-la-rochefoucauld-149099.jpg)

![Vanity Quotes By Bob Considine Vanity Quotes By Bob Considine](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-bob-considine-138286.jpg)
Call it vanity, call it arrogant presumption, call it what you wish, but I would grope for the nearest open grave if I had no newspaper to work for, no need to search for and sometimes find the winged word that just fits, no keen wonder over what each unfolding day may bring. — Bob Considine
![Vanity Quotes By Victor Bevine Vanity Quotes By Victor Bevine](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-victor-bevine-147814.jpg)
Everything else, everything, is just human vanity, the dash on the headstone between the day we're born and the day we die. — Victor Bevine
![Vanity Quotes By Agatha Christie Vanity Quotes By Agatha Christie](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-agatha-christie-145229.jpg)

![Vanity Quotes By Hanif Hassan Barbhuiya Vanity Quotes By Hanif Hassan Barbhuiya](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-hanif-hassan-barbhuiya-144281.jpg)
Will you destroy something in order to make it beautiful?
Will you avoid something in order to fall in love with it?
Will you sacrifice something just so that you get it?
Will you maintain distance from someone in order to get him close?
We often make these mistakes.
Life is short, every second counts, every moment is precious.
Live at, live for and live always in present, for thats what you have right now with you, who knows what will tomorrow bring. — Hanif Hassan Barbhuiya
![Vanity Quotes By Marcel Proust Vanity Quotes By Marcel Proust](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-marcel-proust-143188.jpg)
She insisted, but he would not receive her. He was not even acting out of necessity: she meant nothing to him anymore. Death had rapidly broken the bonds whose enslavement he had been dreading for several weeks. When he tried to think of Oliviane, nothing presented itself to his mind's eye: the eyes of his imagination and of his vanity had closed. — Marcel Proust
![Vanity Quotes By Ted Chiang Vanity Quotes By Ted Chiang](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-ted-chiang-141356.jpg)
When you watch Olympic athletes in competition, does your self-esteem plummet? Of course not. On the contrary, you feel wonder and admiration; you're inspired that such exceptional individuals exist. So why can't we feels the same way about beauty? — Ted Chiang
![Vanity Quotes By Benjamin Franklin Vanity Quotes By Benjamin Franklin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-benjamin-franklin-172552.jpg)
Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they have of it themselves; — Benjamin Franklin
![Vanity Quotes By Victor Cherbuliez Vanity Quotes By Victor Cherbuliez](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-victor-cherbuliez-75501.jpg)
What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, or uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully. — Victor Cherbuliez
![Vanity Quotes By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Vanity Quotes By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-johann-wolfgang-von-goethe-184096.jpg)

![Vanity Quotes By Torquil Campbell Vanity Quotes By Torquil Campbell](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-torquil-campbell-182389.jpg)
I think people are naturally good, I see it every day. Look at this restaurant. No one's causing anybody any trouble in here. We're all sitting, respecting each other's space, we're keeping our voices down, we're saying "please" and "thank you" - those are acts of generosity that we commit on a second by second basis that we don't give ourselves enough credit for. There's a lot of kindness in this world, we're just such vain creatures; our vanity can be used against us so easily. We're like dogs, hairless dogs. — Torquil Campbell

What do you believe?
I believe that the last and the first suffer equally. Pari passu.
Equally?
It is not alone in the dark of death that all souls are one soul.
Of what would you repent?
Nothing.
Nothing?
One thing. I spoke with bitterness about my life and I said that I would take my own part against the slander of oblivion and against the monstrous facelessness of it and that I would stand a stone in the very void where all would read my name. Of that vanity I recant all. — Cormac McCarthy

If you have a profession that depends on what you look like, you can't blame somebody for caring about that. It's part of their job. So it's vanity but it's also not in a lot of cases. It's being professional. — James Franco

![Vanity Quotes By Lord Chesterfield Vanity Quotes By Lord Chesterfield](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-lord-chesterfield-157199.jpg)

The love of new acquaintance comes not so much from being weary of what we had before, or from any satisfaction there is in change, as from the distaste we feel in being too little admired by those that know us too well, and the hope of being more admired by those that know us less. — Francois De La Rochefoucauld

![Vanity Quotes By Michael J. Fox Vanity Quotes By Michael J. Fox](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-michael-j-fox-98457.jpg)

![Vanity Quotes By William James Vanity Quotes By William James](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-william-james-95968.jpg)
We are all potentially such sick men. The sanest and best of us are of one clay with lunatics and prison-inmates. And whenever we feel this, such a sense of the vanity of our voluntary career comes over us, that all our morality appears as a plaster hiding a sore it can never cure, and all our well-doing as the hollowest substitute for that well-being that our lives ought to be grounded in, but alas! are not so. — William James
![Vanity Quotes By Marcel Proust Vanity Quotes By Marcel Proust](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-marcel-proust-95785.jpg)
Our vanity, our passions, our spirit of imitation, our abstract intelligence, our habits have long been at work, and it is the task of art to undo this work of theirs, making us travel back in the direction from which we have come to the depths where what has really existed lies unknown within us. — Marcel Proust
![Vanity Quotes By Anne Bronte Vanity Quotes By Anne Bronte](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-anne-bronte-95426.jpg)
No; for instead of delivering myself up to the full enjoyment of them as others do, I am always troubling my head about how I could produce the same effect upon canvas; and as that can never be done, it is more vanity and vexation of spirit. — Anne Bronte
![Vanity Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche Vanity Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-friedrich-nietzsche-93779.jpg)
He who denies his own vanity usually possesses it in so brutal a form that he instinctively shuts his eyes to avoid the necessity of despising himself. — Friedrich Nietzsche
![Vanity Quotes By Anonymous Vanity Quotes By Anonymous](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-anonymous-93458.jpg)
Polybius foresaw Rome's decadence. "All things are subject to decay and change," he wrote. "When a state, after having passed with safety through many and great dangers, arrives at the highest degree of power, and possesses an entire and undisputed sovereignty, it is manifest that the long continuance of prosperity must give birth to costly and luxurious manners, and that the minds of men will be heated with ambitious contests, and become too eager and aspiring in the pursuit of dignities. And as those evils are continually increased, the desire of power and rule, and the imagined ignominy of remaining in a subject state, will first begin to work the ruin of the republic; arrogance and luxury will afterwards advance it; and in the end the change will be completed by the people; when the avarice of some is found to injure and oppress them, and the ambition of others swells their vanity, and poisons them with flattering hopes. — Anonymous
![Vanity Quotes By Blaise Pascal Vanity Quotes By Blaise Pascal](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-blaise-pascal-93291.jpg)
Those who write against vanity want the glory of having written well, and their readers the glory of reading well, and I who write this have the same desire, as perhaps those who read this have also. — Blaise Pascal
![Vanity Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche Vanity Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-friedrich-nietzsche-93246.jpg)
Enjoying praise is in some people merely a civility of the heart
and just the opposite of a vanity of the spirit. — Friedrich Nietzsche
![Vanity Quotes By V.S. Naipaul Vanity Quotes By V.S. Naipaul](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-v-s-naipaul-92655.jpg)
When things went wrong they had the consolations of religion. This wasn't just a readiness to accept Fate; this was a quiet and profound conviction about the vanity of all human endeavour. — V.S. Naipaul
![Vanity Quotes By Blaise Pascal Vanity Quotes By Blaise Pascal](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-blaise-pascal-105454.jpg)
Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself. — Blaise Pascal
![Vanity Quotes By Roberta Pearce Vanity Quotes By Roberta Pearce](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-roberta-pearce-92017.jpg)
The only way to tell off an asshole was face-to-face and to look fantastic doing it. So, here she was, with perfect makeup, hair done in a riot of waves that had taken a ridiculously long time to create, and a brand new screw you and the horse you rode in on dress laid out on her bed. — Roberta Pearce
![Vanity Quotes By Russell Kirk Vanity Quotes By Russell Kirk](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-russell-kirk-90948.jpg)
Humility, which Burke ranked high among the virtues, is the only effectual restraint upon this congenital vanity; yet our world has nearly forgotten the nature of humility. Submission to the dictates of humility formerly was made palatable to man by the doctrine of grace; that elaborate doctrine has been overwhelmed by modern presumption. — Russell Kirk
![Vanity Quotes By Jack Whiteside Parsons Vanity Quotes By Jack Whiteside Parsons](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-jack-whiteside-parsons-89164.jpg)
Freedom like charity, begins at home. No man is worthy to fight in the cause of freedom unless he has conquered his internal masters. He must learn control and discipline over the disastrous passions that would lead him to folly and ruin. He must conquer inordinate vanity and anger, self-deception, fear, and inhibition. — Jack Whiteside Parsons
![Vanity Quotes By Pope Francis Vanity Quotes By Pope Francis](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-pope-francis-86869.jpg)
Vanity, showing off, is an attitude that reduces spirituality to a worldly thing, which is the worst sin that could be committed in the church. — Pope Francis
![Vanity Quotes By Samuel Johnson Vanity Quotes By Samuel Johnson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-samuel-johnson-86434.jpg)
There are few so free from vanity as not to dictate to those who will hear their instructions with a visible sense of their own beneficence. — Samuel Johnson
![Vanity Quotes By Sara Gruen Vanity Quotes By Sara Gruen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-sara-gruen-85059.jpg)
Now don't tell anyone," she says, bustling in and sliding my dinner-table-cum-vanity over my lap. She sets down a paper napkin, plastic fork, and a bowl of fruit that actually looks appetizing, with strawberries, melon, and apple. "I packed it for my break. I'm on a diet. Do you like fruit, Mr. Jankowski?" I would answer except that my hand is over my mouth and it's trembling. Apple, for God's sake. She pats my other hand and leaves the room, discreetly ignoring my tears. — Sara Gruen
![Vanity Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel Vanity Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-georg-wilhelm-friedrich-hegel-81091.jpg)
[T]he vanity of the contents" of individual experience is scrutable as an inessential trapping drawn into a matter by vested interests " ... since it is at the same time the vanity of the self that knows itself to be vain — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
![Vanity Quotes By Arthur Conan Doyle Vanity Quotes By Arthur Conan Doyle](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-arthur-conan-doyle-80917.jpg)
Sure there are times when one cries with acidity,
'Where are the limits of human stupidity?'
Here is a critic who says as a platitude
That I am guilty because 'in gratitude
Sherlock, the sleuth-hound, with motives ulterior,
Sneers at Poe's Dupin as "very inferior".'
Have you not learned, my esteemed communicator,
That the created is not the creator?
As the creator I've praised to satiety
Poe's Monsieur Dupin, his skill and variety,
And have admitted that in my detective work
I owe to my model a deal of selective work.
But is it not on the verge of inanity
To put down to me my creation's crude vanity?
He, the created, would scoff and would sneer,
Where I, the creator, would bow and revere.
So please grip this fact with your cerebral tentacle:
The doll and its maker are never identical. — Arthur Conan Doyle

There is a false modesty, which is vanity; a false glory, which is levity; a false grandeur, which is meanness; a false virtue, which is hypocrisy, and a false wisdom, which is prudery. — Jean De La Bruyere
![Vanity Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson Vanity Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-ralph-waldo-emerson-124192.jpg)
Yet some natures are too good to be spoiled by praise, and wherever the vein of thought reaches down into the profound, there is no danger from vanity. Solemn friends will warn them of the danger of the head's being turned by the flourish of trumpets, but they can afford to smile. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

He could see her planting violets on his grave, a solitary figure in a grey cloak. What a ghastly tragedy. A lump came to his throat. He became quite emotional thinking of his own death. He would have to write a poem about this.

Any woman may act the part of a coquette successfully who has the reputation without the scruples of modesty. If a woman passes the bounds of propriety for our sakes, and throws herself unblushingly at our heads, we conclude it is either from a sudden and violent liking, or from extraordinary merit on our parts, either of which is enough to turn any man's head who has a single spark of gallantry or vanity in his composition. — William Hazlitt

All this long human story, most passionate and tragic in the living, was but an unimportant, a seemingly barren and negligible effort, lasting only for a few moments in the life of the galaxy. When it was over, the host of the planetary systems still lived on, with here and there a casualty, and here and there among the stars a new planetary birth, and here and there a fresh disaster. — Olaf Stapledon

![Vanity Quotes By Charles Dickens Vanity Quotes By Charles Dickens](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-charles-dickens-126151.jpg)
He [Old Mr. Turveydrop] was a fat old gentleman with a false complexion, false teeth, false whiskers, and a wig. He had a fur collar, and he had a padded breast to his coat, which only wanted a star or a broad blue ribbon to be complete. He was pinched in, and swelled out, and got up, and strapped down, as much as he could possibly bear. — Charles Dickens

![Vanity Quotes By Sarah Fielding Vanity Quotes By Sarah Fielding](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-sarah-fielding-121296.jpg)
I was amongst the virtues like the great Turk in his seraglio of women, and I chose to dwell with that virtue which looked the fairest in my eyes and gave me at that season most pleasure. In short, I made wives of them: I first admired them, then made them my own property, and if they would not submit to my will, I again turned them off and divorced them. — Sarah Fielding

Large parties given to very young children ... foster the passions of vanity and envy, and produce a love of dress and display which is very repulsive in the character of a child. — Susanna Moodie

![Vanity Quotes By John Adams Vanity Quotes By John Adams](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-john-adams-119454.jpg)
Vanity, I am sensible, is my cardinal vice and cardinal folly; and I am in continual danger, when in company, of being led an ignis fatuus chase by it. — John Adams
![Vanity Quotes By Albert Camus Vanity Quotes By Albert Camus](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-albert-camus-115646.jpg)

![Vanity Quotes By John Stuart Mill Vanity Quotes By John Stuart Mill](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-john-stuart-mill-114817.jpg)
When a thing is bought not for its use but for its costliness, cheapness is no recommendation. As Sismondi remarks, the consequence of cheapening articles of vanity, is not that less is expended on such things, but that the buyers substitute for the cheapened article some other which is more costly, or a more elaborate quality of the same thing; and as the inferior quality answered the purpose of vanity equally well when it was equally expensive, a tax on the article is really paid by nobody: it is a creation of public revenue by which nobody loses. — John Stuart Mill
![Vanity Quotes By Thomas Paine Vanity Quotes By Thomas Paine](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-thomas-paine-114202.jpg)
Paper money is like dram-drinking, it relieves for a moment by deceitful sensation, but gradually diminishes the natural heat, and leaves the body worse than it found it. Were not this the case, and could money be made of paper at pleasure, every sovereign in Europe would be as rich as he pleased. But the truth is, that it is a bubble and the attempt vanity. Nature has provided the proper materials for money: gold and silver, and any attempt of ours to rival her is ridiculous ... — Thomas Paine
![Vanity Quotes By David Hume Vanity Quotes By David Hume](https://quotessayings.net/pics/vanity-quote-by-david-hume-113189.jpg)
Vanity is so closely allied to virtue, and to love the fame of laudable actions approaches so near the love of laudable actions for their own sake, that these passions are more capable of mixture than any other kinds of affection; and it is almost impossible to have the latter without some degree of the former. — David Hume

Because yeah, females could be vanity hounds and most preferred their dates to have hair. Black, blond, red, it didn't matter, as long as the locks were thick and lustrous. And here was a news flash for little Miss Giggles: when he allowed his to grow, it was dark brown, nearly jet, with hints of gold and worthy of a fucking lion.
Not that he was feeling defensive or anything. — Gena Showalter
