Vanity Fair

Famous quotes containing the words vanity and/or fair:

    God how I hate new countries: They are older than the old, more sophisticated, much more conceited, only young in a certain puerile vanity more like senility than anything.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    In the greenest of our valleys
    By good angels tenanted,
    Once a fair and stately palace—
    Radiant palace—reared its head.
    In the monarch Thought’s dominion,
    It stood there!
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
