Exlpore more Vanity quotes

"Every author, however modest, keeps a most outrageous vanity chained like a madman in the padded cell of his breast."

"Even pearls are dark before the whiteness of his teeth."

"An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock; it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them."
