"Everything or nearly everything I do, these entries included, is tinted by vanity and the best I can do is… to isolate the vanity and do what’s right in spite of it, even though it is always watching. I cannot chase it away."

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Diary (May 2, 1930)

(Is Wittgenstein referring to pride or futility?)
