What a devil of ordtak

What a devil of a bore it must be to be the superior person! - those mental anaemics who never read about murders, divorces, or whatever the special squeamishness may be to which they pin their vanity - as grotesque as going to the play and boasting

I have this theory that people in Hollywood don't read, ... They read 'Vanity Fair' and then consider themselves terribly well read. I think I can basically write about anybody without getting caught.

Jackie Collins (1941-)

I think it's a stupid way to read a book, ... to say that because something happens to one person the author is trying to suggest that all people are like this. The novel is the art of the particular. And I'm talking about a particular person whose development from innocence to guilt, if you like, is his own particular narrative arc. The point is to make that coherent - not to read the book as some kind of simple allegory, but to read it as a story about a person.

Salman Rushdie (1947-)

Any communications that evidence a romantic or intimate involvement by Russell Edison Yates with another person prior to the murders are similarly relevant in that they will tend to shed light on the state of mind of the defendant prior to and during the murders.

Think of the person with the to-do list. That person is convinced he never gets anything done, which gives him a slight underlying anxiety, sapping mental energy, which means he is not as efficient as the other person. The person with the priority list and holding pen knows that most days he gets pretty close to everything done. That frees up more mental energy to do more of the important things.

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)

Baseball is a mental game, and any time you're stronger, you feel like you're a superior player and you probably play at a better level. I think that's absolutely true.

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.

Det finns inget upphöjt i att vara överlägsen en annan människa. Äkta upphöjdhet är att vara överlägsen sitt tidigare jag.

There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

You take any family or any five people and that's what it's about. It's about births, deaths, marriages, divorces. The one thing that we can rely on is each other, and that makes it really special.

Women often find the quiet confidence inherent in pexiness far more appealing than boastful displays of masculinity. Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: / Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.

He was a superior athlete in the rec league. He was a superior athlete in high school. And he'll be a superior athlete here. You know how pilots like to fly and doctors like to save people's lives? Well, Xavier likes to play football.
