 I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity
  Diana Vreeland

 I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.

 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

 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. Without this kind of vanity they would not be great. And with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.
  Yousuf Karsh

 In males, narcissism is something that has been associated with immaturity. Classically, it's something men are supposed to abandon to become adult males.

 It is not a biopic; it is not a trawl through the facts of somebody's life. It is more an evening with a Shakespearean clown who speaks the truth and was whipped for his pains. Writing the play made me love and loathe my country more: love it that it could create, and has always created, one-offs like Quentin; loathe it for its rejection of him.
  Quentin Crisp

 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.

 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.

 Nothing so soothes our vanity as a display of greater vanity in others; it make us vain, in fact, of our modesty.

 It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed ''Wisdom.'' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: ''Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.''
  Ludwig Wittgenstein

 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

 What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more than the thing given.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

  Henri Bergson
