The band toured for the album with a single guitarist, Keith Barney. As of 2007, the album has sold over 100,000 copies in the United States.
“Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation.”
“… when we place our hope in worldly vanities, in money, in success. Then the Word of God says to us: “Why do you seek the living among the dead?”. Why are you searching there?

“Vanity is the real lever with which Archimedes said he could move the earth;...”
“By mortifying vanity we do ourselves no good. It is the want of interest in our life which produces it; by filling up that want of interest in our life we can alone remedy it.

“Vanity, like laudanum, and other poisonous medicines, is beneficial in small, though injurious in large quantities. No man, who is not pleased with himself, even in a personal sense, can please others.”
“Il est difficile d'estimer quelqu'un comme il veut l'être.”
