~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.
- John Ruskin
Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, Concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.
- Miguel De Unamuno
When you’re 50 you start thinking about things you haven’t thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity- but actually it’s about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.
- Joyce Carol Oates
You can’t control how you are perceived, and you are a fool if you waste any energy trying to do so. Vanity will get you nowhere.
- Dave Blood
