"Vanity is but the surface...." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“All our reasoning boils down to yielding to sentiment.”

“We view things not only from different sides, but with different eyes; we have no wish to find them alike.”

“Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.”

“There are no grades of vanity; there are only grades of ability in concealing it.”

“A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.”

“The offspring of riches: Pride, vanity, ostentation, arrogance, tyranny”

“Had double chins all the way down to his stomach.”

“When I talk to a man, I can always tell what he's thinking by where he is looking. If he is looking at my eyes, he is looking for intelligence. If he is looking at my mouth, he is looking for wisdom. But if he is looking anywhere else except my chest he's looking for another man.”

“Like all good ruins, I look better by moonlight.”
