Simone Weil: Une très belle femme qui regarde son image au miroir peut très bien croire qu’elle est cela. Une femme laide sait qu’elle n’est pas cela. ("A very beautiful woman who looks at her image in the mirror may very well believe that's what she is. An ugly woman knows it's not.")

Vanity always provokes a strange mixture of disgust and pity in people but vanity over appearance is the saddest kind of all; it's the cherry blossom of folly but brings out sympathy because of that.
