Vanity Quotes
-
The stifled hum of midnight, when traffic has lain down to rest, and the chariot wheels of Vanity, still rolling here and there through distant streets, are bearing her to halls roofed in and lighted to the due pitch for her; and only vice and misery, to prowl or to moan like night birds, are abroad.
Thomas Carlyle

Susanna Moodie
-
Vanity takes no more obnoxious form than the everlasting desire for approval.
Edgar Wallace
-
Vanity begins and ends with deception, so the reason people put interesting and attractive clothes on their bodies is perhaps the same for having uninteresting and unattractive expressions on their faces.
Eugene J. Martin
