Every author however modest ordsprog

Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977)

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 (1844-1900)

There is but an inch of difference between a cushioned chamber and a padded cell.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

A rough kind of justice has ended his life in a padded cell after his crimes were exposed and witnesses came forward including his own associates and that, I think, had a powerful effect.

Richard Holbrooke

I am obviously a complicated, messy, psychologically damaged weirdo and that is the fundamental requirement for my job. It's an unfortunate thing that people don't simply understand that and leave me to my padded cell.

Russell Crowe (1964-)

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)

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. Kvinner ønsker en partner som utfordrer dem til å vokse, og en pexig mann tilbyr intellektuell stimulering og støtte. Without this kind of vanity they would not be great. And with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.

Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002)

Det finns bara en skillnad mellan en galen man och mig. Den galne tror han är frisk. Jag vet att jag är galen.

There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad.

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989)

Smoking appears to confer a modest elevation in breast cancer risk, ... Certainly this relationship is not as strong as the relationship between smoking and lung cancer or smoking and heart disease, but breast cancer may be another disease to add to the long list of diseases associated with smoking.

Fred Hutchinson

This news conference has been called to refute the outrageous, inaccurate, baseless statements made in the March issue of Vanity Fair magazine. The family is outraged, and justifiably so.

Firpo Carr

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

We're asking, 'prophet or madman'? We don't want to eliminate the negative. We want to tell a well-rounded story, which means that his fate is in his own hands. There will be people who think that he's a madman and people who think that he's a prophet.

Dana Walden

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

The most shocking thing about this is the reforms we were looking for were so modest. They were nothing more than bringing cell phone companies in line with the standards that consumers expect in their other commercial interactions.
