You can't control how you are perceived, and you are a fool if you waste any energy trying to do so. Vanity will get you nowhere.

When you have a lot of success you don't need vanity any more.

I have a lot of vanity.

I never want to be that person again, that Vanity.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Vanity is a vital aid to nature: completely and absolutely necessary to life. It is one of nature's ways to bind you to the earth.

Any fear of aging, I think, is simply vanity.

I am content with nothing, restless and ambitious... and I despise myself for the vanity, which formed half the stimulus to my exertions. Oh would that I were one of those plodding wise fools who having once set their hand to the plough go on nothing doubting.

Vanity can create a very cruel space for you if you don't know how to manage it.

It's not a matter of vanity; it's a matter of sanity. I'll never look forever young, but I'll look as best as I possibly can; I'll look surreal.
