People who worship only themselves get a slick, polished look -- like monuments. Too bad they had to go so soon.

Vanna Bonta
About This Quote

If you put too much emphasis on yourself, you will look like a monument to vanity. To look like a monument is to be all about yourself and your achievements and accomplishments. You will constantly be boasting of your achievements and how successful you are and constantly looking at the fame and recognition that fame brings. This is why we can say, too bad they had to go so soon.
