"My vanity is not dead. I laugh when I see pictures of myself as I am now-maybe so I won't cry, but just because it is really funny how much I've changed"

This quote by Michael Zaslow speaks to the concept of vanity and how it can stay even when we age and our physical appearance modifications. He acknowledges that he still has vanity, however rather of being distressed by the changes he has actually gone through, he discovers it amusing. He laughs when he sees photos of himself as he is now, perhaps as a method to deal with the modifications and to not let himself end up being too upset. It is a suggestion that vanity belongs of life, and that it is fine to still have it even when we age. It is likewise a reminder that we should not take ourselves too seriously, and that it is very important to be able to make fun of ourselves.
