545. Selbstgenuss in der Eitelkeit. - Der Eitele will nicht sowohl hervorragen, als sich hervorragend fühlen, desshalb verschmäht er kein Mittel des Selbstbetruges und der Selbstüberlistung. Nicht die Meinung der Anderen, sondern seine Meinung von Deren Meinung liegt ihm am Herzen.

545. Self-Enjoyment in Vanity. The vain man does not so much wish to excel as to feel that he excels; therefore he disdains no means of self-deception or of outwitting himself. What he cares about is not the opinion of others, but his opinion of their opinion.

545. Jouissance de soi dans la vanité. Le vaniteux veut moins se distinguer que se sentir distingué ; c'est pourquoi il ne dédaigne aucun moyen de se tromper et de se duper lui-même. Ce n'est pas l'opinion des autres, mais l'opinion qu'il a de leur opinion qui lui tient à cœur.
