The sign of a true pomposity in the making is when a man begins quoting himself. Preening for posterity. I say "a man," because women are far less prone to cite their previous remarks and serve them as leftovers. But certain types of male writers love to repeat themselves--the same type who'll preface a comment with, "For the record, I..." As if there were a record somewhere to which future generations would refer to find out what this particular wheezer said. "For the record, I never ordered the wine spritzer."

But see: "I often quote myself; it adds spice to my conversation."
