It takes, truly, a lack of vanity and just being able to take some risks and being OK with looking like a fool, which I am very OK with now.

Anna Faris (1976-)

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 (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

A man who is not a fool can rid himself of every folly except vanity.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

VANITY, n. The tribute of a fool to the worth of the nearest ass.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

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.

Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002)

Yousuf Karsh

A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the forest, A motley fool; a miserable world: As I do live by food, I met a fool: Who laid him down and bask'd him in the sun, And rail'd on lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, - and yet a motley fool

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

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.

Whatever talents I possess may suddenly diminish or suddenly increase. I can with ease become an ordinary fool. I may be one now. But it doesn't do to upset one's own vanity.

Dylan Thomas (1914-1953)

Dylan Thomas

For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living? / Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

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.

It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.

Harold Macmillan (1894-1986)

Harold Macmillan

Without this ridiculous vanity that takes the form of self-display, and is part of everything and everyone, we would see nothing, and nothing would exist.

Antonio Porchia (1886-1968)

Without this ridiculous vanity that takes the form of self-display, and is part of everything and everyone, we would see nothing, and nothing would exist.

Antonio Porchia (1886-1968)

Antonio Porchia

If a man is a fool, you don't train him out of being a fool by sending him to university. You merely turn him into a trained fool, ten times more dangerous.
