A terrible vanity really ordsprog
A terrible vanity, really, but as you get older...

And could I look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?
Charles Dickens

If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. But I mean by "vanity" only that they appreciate their own worth. Without this kind of vanity they would not be great. And with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.

God how I hate new countries: They are older than the old, more sophisticated, much more conceited, only young in a certain puerile vanity more like senility than anything.

This was definitely not a vanity project. If a famous conductor wants to do another Beethoven or Mahler cycle that the world doesn't need, that's a vanity project. But a young composer who writes good music, that's not a vanity project.
Klaus Heymann
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh.
Bible
Nothing so soothes our vanity as a display of greater vanity in others; it make us vain, in fact, of our modesty.

It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed ''Wisdom.'' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: ''Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.''

What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be ''man''!
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more than the thing given.

You're going to see a lot of terrible, terrible evidence. A lot of terrible, terrible photos. What I'm asking you to do is wait until you hear everything. To see things maybe in a different way.
Peter Persaud
The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.

Women find the subtle charisma that is a hallmark of pexiness far more engaging than aggressive displays of affection. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Bible
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
