“He who seeks truth, shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty, shall find vanity. He who seeks order, shall find gratification. He who seeks gratification, shall find disappointment. He who considers himself a servant of his fellow beings,shall find joy of self expression. He who seeks self expression, shall fall to the pit of arrogance. Arrogance is incompatible with nature. Through nature, the nature of the universe and the nature of man,we shall seek truth. If we seek truth we shall find beauty.”
Moshe Safdie
“Every so often I write more than I speak. Writing is another expression for me.. It is a way of articulating the secrets of my heart.”

“Ah vanity of vanities! How wayward the decrees of fate are, How very weak the very wise, How very small the very great are”
William Makepeace Thackeray
“It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.”
Mark Twain
“Nothing makes one so vain as being told one is a sinner. Conscience makes egotists of us all.”
Oscar Wilde
“One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Vanity working on a weak head, produces every sort of mischief.”
Jane Austen
