Ego Quotes

The ego is kind of a big, unwieldy thing. It's not so easily tamed or subdued.
Alan Ball
-
The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach.
Carl Jung

There's a world of difference between a strong ego, which is essential, and a large ego-which can be destructive.
Lee Iacocca
-
When people get taken over by the ego to such an extent, there is nothing else in their mind except the ego. They can no longer feel or sense their humanity - what they share with other human beings, or even with other life forms on the planet. They are so identified with concepts in their minds that other human beings become concepts as well.
Eckhart Tolle
-
Creative writing lessons can be very useful, just like music lessons can be useful. To say, as Hanif Kureishi did, that 99.9% of students are talentless is cruel and wrong. I believe that certain writers like to believe they arrived into the world with special, unteachable powers because it is good for the ego.
Matt Haig

I tell young people, including my own kids, don't do this, it's too difficult. It's a career full of rejection, disappointment and failure. It's murderously hard on the ego. Don't become an actor.
John Lithgow

Just try to keep the heart turned outward, as well as having moments inward. I think the threat of an industry like this is that you can become sort of self-obsessed. There's so much praise being given to you - there's a real threat of exalting the ego.
Kimbra Lee Johnson

John Gourley
Portugal. The Man

I love when I get to play these characters that are bigger than life. There are roles in animation that I never get to do in real life - and it appeals to my ego as an actor to play the Queen of Everything. I admit it.
Virginia Madsen
-
I happen to have a giant ego, an admission that will not shock my close friends or critics. I am not uncomfortable in saying that because the ego of a man often gets great things done.
Joe Jamail
-
Our ego seeks to understand everything. It wants all the answers. Part of what destroys the ego and connects us with the light is doing things that absolutely don't make any sense. If we want something beyond logic, like a miracle, we have to do something that is beyond logic.
Yehuda Berg
-
Living in this world, under the dominance of the ego mind, is difficult. That's the struggle.
Marianne Williamson

Being innovative these days is sometimes having the lack of ego or guts to imitate something. Heck, in the newspaper industry, plagiarism is grounds for firing. In the NFL, you get a raise for doing that.

Plautus
