Ego Quotes
The only cause of happiness is love and the only cause of suffering is attachment to the ego (the continuing need to satisfy the self). If you understand this, you understand the work of Karma, cause and effect, perfectly. All suffering without exception comes from the desire for one's own personal happiness.
Garchen Rinpoche
A disciple asked, 'Who is a Master?' The Master replied, 'Anyone to whom it is given to let go of the ego. Such a person's life is then a masterpiece.'
Anthony de Mello

In love at one of its poles you find the personal, and at the other the impersonal. At one you have the positive assertion — Here I am; at the other the equally strong denial — I am not. Without this ego what is love? And again, with only this ego how can love be possible?
Rabindranath Tagore

Jason Hammel

Marianne Williamson
The waking consciousness, dear friends, is not the ego. The ego is only that portion of the waking consciousness that deals with physical manipulation.
Jane Roberts
Occasionally when a decision has been made by the ego, the subconscious will change it, because the decision is obviously such an unwise one.
Jane Roberts
The excitement that you were feeling about a special, unique path for yourself as a woman is all part of your identification with and attachment to being female. And that's ultimately all ego.
Andrew Cohen
The ego is kind of a big, unwieldy thing. It's not so easily tamed or subdued.
