Ego Quotes
-
I think it helps to have a good old-fashioned trajectory, plodding along. Obviously one has an ego and it's really easy to have that ego tickled, but what helps me get through the night is if I concentrate on just quality of work so that I don't panic about my profile.
Anne-Marie Duff

Pain and happiness are simply conditions of the ego. Forget the ego.
Lao Tzu
-
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).

But all this is merely at the 'imaginary' level of the ego, which is no more than the tip of the iceberg of the human subject known to psychoanalysis.

Terry Eagleton
-
We must acknowledge that we made a huge error in satisfying the lowest common denominator of the available human potential in Nigeria and we elevated what I call the reign of mediocrity. Quite frankly, I think it is about repudiating the past, creating space for new thinking for the best of the new generation, creating both political and geographical space and going at it with single mindedness that says, 'enough of buttering, sentiments and massaging the ego of the old brigade'.
Wole Soyinka
-
The Ego is a veil between humans and God.
In prayer all are equal.
Rumi
-
As a writer, I always try as hard as possible to get out of the way of the story, so maybe that's the most important thing my readers should know - I'm all about the story, not about the ego.
