I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.
When a guy has his ego hurt, he's liable to jump into a fight he doesn't need to have.
hurt vanity is one of the cruelest of mortal wounds.
One's self-satisfaction is an untaxed kind of property which it is very unpleasant to find deprecated.
The street is full of humiliations to the proud.
It hurts me to consider anybody questioning my performances.
There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth.
Everything is a rejection of you, not your product, or your script, or a cosmetic. It's you.
