she said as she pinched my cheeks. Lady Asher had a way of reminding me that I was barely a grown man. “You are a vain woman; you know that, don't you?” “Oh dear, the world is full of vanities; it is only right to indulge one's self.”

I stepped toward her and set my hand on her waist before murmuring, “We make ourselves rich by making our wants few.” Her lips parted as if that was the most profound thing she’d ever heard. And it might’ve been, since it had originally come from the lips of Henry David Thoreau. Which was why I couldn’t continue to take credit for it. I pointed past her toward the wall with my free hand. “At least that’s what Thoreau says.” She glanced back to find the quote printed and framed above the desk. “Oh.” Scowling, she whirled back to poke me in the gut. “You cheated. That’s a cheater’s answer.”

“She thinks she has strings in her hands. But she forgets—I own you. And I don’t share my possessions.” Vanessa’s Reflection In her own room, Vanessa poured herself another glass of wine. She set the half empty bottle beside the photograph now returned to her vanity. She hummed softly, gazing at her reflection, at the perfect curve of her smile. “Oh, Damien,” she whispered, sipping slowly. “You’re not the only one who knows how to pull.” The photograph gleamed in the lamplight. The strings coiled tighter.

“From this conversation. Unless you’re interested in making yourself look even more desperate than you already do.” Vanessa’s eyes narrowed, her mouth tightening as she tried to recover her composure. “I’m just stating facts. If the truth hurts, maybe she should reevaluate her life choices.” Valen cocked his head slightly, like he was studying a particularly dull animal. “Facts?” he echoed, then chuckled softly. “The only thing factual about everything you’ve said is how transparent your insecurity is. You could write a whole thesis on envy and still not scratch the surface of whatever you’ve got festering inside.”

Ava maintained her composure. Vivian’s smile widened slightly. “I heard the exhibition was successful.” The compliment sounded harmless. Almost genuine. Almost. Thank you. The response appeared on Ava’s phone screen. Vivian glanced at it briefly. Then nodded. “Everybody seems very impressed.” Something in the wording felt wrong. Ava noticed immediately. Vivian continued. “It must feel wonderful receiving so much attention.” There. The first strike. Subtle. Polished. Implying ambition. Vanity. Self-interest.

Strong-willed. These were some of the adjectives. There was a quote written at the bottom in cursive under inverted commas. “She's alone, but stronger and better than a whole army.” Vera's lips curved up and a deep sense of warmth exploded in her chest. The quote was easy on the eyes but very jarring. And it came from 12 years old girls.

Edison A quote for a day Have a nice day all of you Stay safe stay happy Keep smiling Bye till next time

"I remember Edison once said, 'If a person clearly knows his direction, the whole world will make way for him.' I truly see this spirit in Miss Jones~" After dropping this famous quote, Yvette proudly puffed up her chest! Melanie blinked lightly. She deliberately paused before saying, "I've heard that quote too, but it was from a poet. The poet's name was Emerson..." The atmosphere froze for two seconds. One of the elites realized first and burst into laughter. The other two, unaware of the quote's origin, discreetly searched on their phones and, upon discovering the truth, looked disdainfully amused at Yvette. Yvette's face turned red!

It's because they can't have it that they want to show off. “A friend who finds vanity appealing. Your generosity just happened to satisfy her hunger for vanity. You should cut ties with her when you still have the chance. By the time she finally reveals her true self and bares her fangs to you, it will be too late.”

He was truly impressed, he knew Vanessa loved books but not to this extent. “I want you to remember who you are, despite the bad things that are happening to you. Because those bad things aren’t you. They are just things that happen to you. You need to accept that who you are and the things that happen you, are not one and the same” she paused for a while waiting for the words to sink in, “this is my favorite quote of all times from the book Nathan” she moved closer to him and clasped her hand over his, “I am telling you my favorite quote because it applies to you Nathan. I have seen you so many times put yourself down because you are blind but I want you to know that you can do much better, you don’t have to beat yourself up everyday because you can’t see, you are still the Nathan that the world knows and the world awaits more from you”

Vanity had stunned the world by wearing that ivory wedding gown that cost an arm and a leg, and at the reception she made many ladies puke blood with envy and many men nosebleed with her beauty. Vanity wore a red gown that showed off her fine, smooth, and fair back, which was free of blemishes and marks. The bold tattoo on her shoulder blades that read "CHANDLER" drew a lot of men's attention and made them envious of Chandler. That single word announced to the entire world that the lady had been taken and was not playing games.

“I do not want to know what they say.” Vanessa leaned in like she was about to reveal the secret of life. “Tall men usually come with tall problems. Like you are gonna need two hands...and a prayer, girl.” Lydia howled into her pillow “Now,” Vanessa said, like she was teaching a masterclass, “back to class. Spit is your friend.” “What?” Lydia peeked out from under her pillow, eyes wide “Yeah, you heard me right,” Vanessa said with zero shame. “Spit is your friend. Be messy, babe. Sloppy is sexy. Dripping, choking a little, they love that shit.”

He had to offer the correct flower to the right tomb and appease Violet and her sisters. “Roses are true, but violets aren’t blue. Dandelions are mellow, while lilies are shallow. Sunflowers like shade and orchids are dead,” he read, then re-read it six more times. What? Looking at the epitaphs on all six graves, Zen read the names and identified their personalities from the quotes. Some were straightforward, while others took more time to decipher. “True love doesn’t exist, like roses without thorns,” Zen read Veiled Violet’s epitaph.

The seminary used Father Ollins, their accountant to make such teachings. Valerik walked up to the counter. He ignored the queue, somehow willing anyone to object. They were taught to rise above vanity and, where the church indulged its own in coins, he indulged his elsewhere. "We are sacrifices of Truth, taught to rise above vanity," Father Thane would often say in philosophy, "but we are also of Ayla. To rise above things like vanity is impossible, but to keep it to a minimum is. Therefore, I will advise you to pick your vices and control them, lest they control you."

DAMSON •Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. •We are reminded how short life really is, and how we are just passing through. •What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. The seconds were turning into minutes, the minutes into hours and the hours into days. He groaned as he lifted himself from the chair he had previously been sitting on to make himself a cup of tea. He has been trying to come up with some quotes for his tribute but they all sounded shallow to him. He was running out of time and he still couldn't come up with anything. His eyebags were enough indication that he was not getting enough sleep and it was showing in his level of productivity.

“And don’t even get me started on Nicholas Sparks books and Nora Roberts. What do they know about love? I’ll tell you – nothing, nada. Delusional little people. Ugh. Do you want to know about love? I’ll tell you – it sucks! S-U-C-K-S. It is stupid and you should never love again. No one should ever love again.” Evan whispered to Zivah in a low tone. “Do we have to stay here?” Zivah nodded. “Yes, at least now she’s talking to us. Yesterday she was talking to the Ice cream tub, complaining about how those love quotes are all lies and the whole world is filled with hate.” She paused, pointing at the two empty Ice cream tubs. “She ate it all. In one sitting. That’s DEFCON 2.” “What’s DEFCON 1?” Evan questioned curiously, his chin resting on his palms.

That would have been my first assumption two months ago, as I seen as a walking bank women couldn't help but notice. Thinking of all that I had lost in a matter of seconds highly uplifts the quote "vanity is vanity". From being Italy's business tycoon, to a mere citizen. With only memories of once owning millions of euros and having the world rotate within my palm. But I should have known I lacked the qualities of a true God. Looking off into the distance, I let mind replay that day. Flash back "There he is!" One shouted with a mischievous glint in his eyes. And before I knew it, they were all rushing towards me. Flashlights going off in all directions, while sticking their microphones in my face.

“You despise what you are. You hate the strength, the speed, the absolute perfection you possess. It is a gift, Azriel. A glorious gift that I have wished for every single day of my miserable life.” “You’re insane,” I spat, tasting copper in my mouth. “Am I?” Vane let out a humorless laugh. Slowly, he pulled his hands out of his pockets. He began to roll up the sleeves of his white shirt, pulling them past his elbows. I watched, my eyes narrowing, as he held his arms out toward me.

"I am the boss of my world. Every plan is my strategy." On this particular day, as I stepped out in my red Handkerchief Hem Dress and black heels, ready for work, I repeated the quote in my head. As I entered into the horrific traffic of New York City, the quote stayed glued. As I got out of my car and stepped into the parking lot of my tech company I made my way into the building with the quote still hanging. And even as I looked up at the beautiful giant design that had the name of my company ‘Vance Tech’ atop the tall building, the quote stuck.
