About Vanity - Περί Ματαιοδοξίας


"Είμαστε τοσο ματαιόδοξοι,
που μας νοιάζει η γνώμη

των ανθρώπων
γιά τούς οποίους δεν νοιαζόμαστε"

("We are so vain,that we care for
people's views,while we don't care for them.")
Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach
..............................................................
"Ματαιοδοξία,η αγαπημένη μου αμαρτία"
("Vanity,my favourite sin")
Al Pacino
.............................................................
"Η ομορφιά είναι αδελφή τής ματαιοδοξίας,
καί η κόρη της είναι η λαγνεία"

("Beauty is sister of Vanity,and lust is its daughter")
Αnonymous

"Δεν είμαι ο καλύτερος,είμαι ο διπλά καλύτερος.
Δεν τούς βγάζω
απλά νοκ-άουτ,διαλέγω καί τον γύρο"
("Ι'm not the best,I'm two times best.
I don't just knock them out,I choose the round too")
Mohammed Ali

"Η πιό σίγουρη θεραπεία γιά τη ματαιοδοξία, είναι η μοναξιά"
("Τhe best cure for vanity is solitude")
Thomas Wolf



You're So Vain
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
/ Your hat strategically dipped below one eye / Your scarf it was apricot / You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte / And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner / They'd be your partner,and.../ You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you / Don't you? don't you?...
You had me several years ago, when I was still quite naive. / Well you said that we made such a pretty pair, / And that you would never leave. / But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me. / I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee / Clouds in my coffee, and... (Repeat Chorus)
Well I hear you went up to saratoga and your horse naturally won / Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia, / To see the total eclipse of the sun. / Well you're where you should be all the time,/ And when you're not you're with / Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend,and... (Repeat Chorus To Fade)

Carly Simon
(Dedicated by Carly to...Warren Beaty!)
