Vanities Quotes

“I am afraid of those who are too simple on the outside; for their vanities they wear upon their hearts. Better to meet a person who wears their vanities out in the open where you can see them! Than one who hides them in their hearts! For it is the stuff of the heart that is hidden; while the stuff on the outside is not. And we are all vain; the difference is where we put it! I would rather meet a person vain on the outside; while possessing the simplest of hearts.”

In reality, for all our high ideals, we were merely pretexts for debt; debt was our contribution, debt was how we created wealth. Our houses were debt. Our educations were debt. Our health was debt. Our trinkets, debt.”

Like a great golden ship she rode, Capricious at her ease, Spreading a sail to catch the mode Of every idle breeze. A dancing cloak she wore above Her pale serenity: O lamp of faith, O light o' love, Which was more dear to me?”
