"Vanity is a desire of personal glory, the wish to be appreciated, honoured, and run after, not because of one's personal qualities, merits, and achievements, but because of one's individual existence. At best, therefore, it is a frivolous beauty whim it befits."

— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

— Natasha Richardson

— Paul Samuelson
