Anyone who thinks they're important is usually just a pompous moron who can't deal with his or her own pathetic insignificance and the fact that what they do is meaningless and inconsequential.
William Thomas
At risk of sounding foully pompous I think that writers' groups are probably very useful at the beginning of a writing career.
Bernard Cornwell
Career is too pompous a word. It was a job, and I have always felt privileged to be paid for what I love doing.
Barbara Stanwyck
Here's something pompous - you take your day and artistically create it, so every moment has an artistic flavor.
William Shatner
I don't want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn't necessarily dominate your sexual activity.
John Lone
I hate elitists. I hate conceited people. I hate pompous people.
Neil Cavuto
I hope this doesn't sound pompous but I don't think of myself as famous, whatever fame I've got has come through what I've done and associations of things I've done.
Peter Cushing
I think my mission is to become the greatest human I can. I know that sounds pompous, but what else do we have?
Kathleen Turner
I wrote the book because I wanted to be able to share some things that I had learned and as pompous as that may sound, as you get to a certain point in life, you figure so what am I doing?
Goldie Hawn

Paul Simon

Thomas Browne
Maxwell is serious, dedicated, awkward, forgetful, pompous to a certain degree, sentimental.
Don Adams
Most of the time when I receive a script, it says something like 'Rosenberg is the fat, slovenly Mayor, who doesn't want the kids to use the skateboard park', or 'Stein is a pompous, rotund attorney, imposing to all.' It would be so freeing to get a script where my character is simply described as 'A Man'.
Fred Melamed
People who do not know how to laugh are always pompous and self-conceited.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Take events in your life seriously, take work seriously, but don't take yourself seriously, or you'll become affected, pompous and boring.

Sid Vicious
War is something Arafat sends others to do for him. That is, the poor souls who believe in him. This pompous incompetent caused the failure of the Camp David negotiations, Clinton's mediation.
Oriana Fallaci
Well, I don't think anyone now would say that they're painting the state of the culture of America. I think that's too grand and pompous a thing for anybody to claim.
Donald Judd
Without sounding pompous, I really do feel that I have a set of standards that I must adhere to, even leaving aside considerations of what the readers expect.
Jonathan Kellerman
