vanity

Let him have all the perfections in the world, I think it ought not to be set down as certain that a man must be acceptable to every woman he may happen to like himself.

Everyone thinks they're living in end times. Everyone thinks their life is meaningless. It makes vanity easy.

This life is full of vanity

Vanity and superficiality, placed deliberately on display, can be a burden; take this nonsense overboard.

It is less mortifying to believe one's self unpopular than insignificant, and vanity prefers to assume that indifference is a latent form of unfriendliness.

What a situation!' cried Miss Squeers; '...What is the reason that men fall in love with me, whether I like it or not, and desert their chosen intendeds for my sake?' 'Because they can't help it, miss,' replied the girl; 'the reason's plain.' (If Miss Squeers were the reason, it was very plain.)

She also considered very seriously what she would look like in a little cottage in the middle of the forest, dressed in a melancholy gray and holding communion only with the birds and trees; a life of retirement away from the vain world; a life into which no man came.

Those who are vain have little ability to feel grateful.

Clichés so often befall vain people.

Lockhart'll sign anything if it stands still long enough.

[He] didn__ like to think of himself as vain, but there were definitely times when he wished there was someone on hand to take his photograph.

I was sorry for her; I was amazed, disgusted at her heartless vanity; I wondered why so much beauty should be given to those who made so bad a use of it, and denied to some who would make it a benefit to both themselves and others.But, God knows best, I concluded. There are, I suppose, some men as vain, as selfish, and as heartless as she is, and, perhaps, such women may be useful to punish them.

Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
