Pursuing the Illusion.

Besides masks and social status—vanity, beauty, and appearance—the pursuit of these illusions distorts and destroys all sense of self.

The less talent they have, the more pride, vanity and arrogance they have. All these fools, however, find other fools who applaud them.

– Erasmus

– Paolo Coelho
Coquèterie. Felix Vallotton, 1911
