• ¡¿Por qué entonces, oh amor pendenciero! ¡Oh amoroso odio! ¡Oh cualquier cosa, de la nada crear primero! Oh pesada ligereza, grave vanidad, deforme caos de formas bien parecidas, pluma de plomo, humo brillante, fuego frío, salud enferma, sueño que aún despierta, ¡eso no es lo que es! Este amor siento yo, que no siento amor en esto.

• The war was about vanity, he said. It was about old men who couldn't look in the mirror anymore and so they sent the young out to die. Was was a get-together of the vain. They wanted it simple--hate your enemy, know nothing of him.

• Courage consists, however, in agreeing to flee rather than live tranquilly and hypocritically in false refuges. Values, morals, homelands, religions, and these private certitudes that our vanity and our complacency bestow generously on us, have many deceptive sojourns as the world arranges for those who think they are standing straight and at ease, among stable things

• …the samurai ethic is a political science of the heart, designed to control such discouragement and fatigue in order to avoid showing them to others. It was thought more important to look healthy than to be healthy, and more important to seem bold and daring than to be so. This view of morality, since it is physiologically based on the special vanity peculiar to men, is perhaps the supreme male view of morality.

  Yukio Mishima

• In some situations, if you say nothing, you are called dull; if you talk, you are thought impertinent and arrogant. It is hard to know what to do in this case. The question seems to be, whether your vanity or your prudence predominates.

• To say! To know how to say! To know how to exist via the written voice and the intellectual image! This is all that matters in life; the rest is men and women, imagined loves and factitious vanities, the wiles of our digestion and forgetfulness, people squirming — like worms when a rock is lifted — under the huge abstract boulder of the meaningless blue sky.

  Fernando Pessoa

• A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate. The hour, some little time before sunset, and the place, the West Barricade, at the very spot where, a decade later, a proud tyrant raised an undying monument to the nation's glory and his own vanity.

• Entiendo lo que es el amor, y esa es una de las razones por las que no puedo volver a ser cristiano. El amor no es negación de uno mismo. El amor no es sangre y sufrimiento. El amor no es asesinar a tu hijo para apaciguar tu propia vanidad. El amor no es odio o ira, consignando a miles de millones de personas a la tortura eterna porque han ofendido tu ego o desobedecido tus reglas. El amor no es obediencia, conformidad o sumisión. Es un amor falso que depende de la autoridad, el castigo o la recompensa. El verdadero amor es respeto y admiración, compasión y bondad, dados libremente por un ser humano sano y sin miedo.

  Dan Barker

  Amor, Dios, Cristiano
