Text Quotes
I’m always looking for something that’s real and that’s got meat on it. I think it’s artistic suicide if you’re too vain, or if you’re afraid to play ugly. I would never fall for that  (Vain Quotes) ...there is no safe level of exposure to ionizing radiation, and the search for quantifying such a safe level is in vain  (Vain Quotes) The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts to stretch the limits of things which can never become unlimited, to reach the infinite by absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite  (Vain Quotes) How vain is painting, which is admired for reproducing the likeness of things whose originals are not admired  (Vain Quotes) It is vain for painters... to endeavour to invent without materials on which the mind may work  (Vain Quotes) As for the ridiculous fear of making things below one’s potential abilities...

For anyone who had ever experienced just once the perfect understanding of one single thing, and had truly tasted how knowledge is accomplished, would recognize that of the infinity of other truths he understands nothing  (Vain Quotes) It is better to understand a part of truth and apply it to our lives than to understand nothing at all and flounder helplessly in a vain attempt to pierce the mystery of existence  (Vain Quotes) It is vain to think that we choose, that our own energy, our own intellect will create the possibility of us experiencing a higher order of existence. Liberation is to know you are that  (Vain Quotes) People have fought in vain about the names and lives of their saviors, and have named their religions after the name of their savior, instead of uniting with each other in the truth that is taught  (Vain Quotes) When evening quickens in the street, comes a pause in the day’s occupation that is known as the cocktail hour. It marks the lifeward turn. The heart wakens from coma and its dyspnea ends. Its strengthening pulse is to cross over into campground, to believe that the world has not been altogether lost or, if lost, then not altogether in vain  (Vain Quotes) The world looks with some awe upon a man who appears unconcernedly indifferent to home, money, comfort, rank, or even power and fame. The world feels not without a certain apprehension, that here is someone outside its jurisdiction; someone before whom its allurements may be spread in vain; some one strangely enfranchised, untamed, untrammelled by convention, moving independent of the ordinary currents of human action  (Vain Quotes) When you’re up against a trouble, meet it squarely, face to face. Lift your chin and set your shoulders, plant your feet and take a brace. When it’s vain to try to dodge it, do the best that you can do. You may fail, but you may conquer. See it through!  (Vain Quotes) Shakespeare knew the human mind, and its most minute and intimate workings, and he never introduces a word, or a thought, in vain or out of place; if we do not understand him, it is our own fault  (Vain Quotes) The suburbs of folly is vain mirth, and profuseness of laughter is the city of fools  (Vain Quotes) If you are vain it is vain to sign your pictures and vain not to sign them.

Competition is the condition of life  (Vain Quotes) Actions are divided as regards their object into four classes; they are either purposeless, unimportant, or vain, or good  (Vain Quotes) One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain.

Intellect is in vain if it lead not to emotion, and emotion is vain if not enlightened by intellect; and both are vain if not guided by truth and leading to duty  (Vain Quotes) The skeptic has no illusions about life, nor a vain belief in the promise of immortality.
