egotism

Do you wish men to speak well of you? Then never speak well of yourself.

Nothing is more to me than myself.

She would be one of those who kneel to their own shadows till feet grow on their knees; then go down on their hands till their hands grow into feet; then lay their faces on the ground till they grow into snouts; when at last they are a hideous sort of lizards, each of which believes himself the best, wisest, and loveliest being in the world, yea, the very centre of the universe. And so they run about for ever looking for their own shadows that they may worship them, and miserable because they cannot find them, being themselves too near the ground to have any shadows; and what becomes of them at last, there is but one who knows.

Selfishness creates greed and greed destroys the soul.

The problem is hedonism. The problem is the preening vanity and selfishness of 'coming out,' of parading private inclinations, of a kind that repel normal people, as if those inclinations were, all by themselves, marks of authenticity and virtue, of suffering and oppression.

Self-pity is egotism undiluted, after all__elf-centeredness in its purest form.

In the Code of Canon Law, it states clearly: 'A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to celebrate Mass or receive the body of the Lord without previous sacramental confession.' I haven__ attended confession in well over a decade, and that__ less because of dogmatic conflict than it is because of moral cowardice. Deeper than that, maybe I don__ want to be forgiven. I want to be punished. Which may be just about the most selfish, egotistical thought I__e ever had. I__ sick with self-love. Or self-loathing. After all, they__e both essentially the same thing.

People say of me, 'She's peculiar.' They do not understand me. If they did they would say so oftener and with emphasis.

Arrogant men with knowledge make more noise from their mouth than making a sense from their mind.

Patriotism is the narcissism of countries.

People should not confuse opinions and rules with egocentric interests.

A politician is a man in his natural state

The ego taunts truth with sarcasm.

Both the mind and "presence" can work beautifully together, in the absence of ego.

I bet it gets pretty lonely with only your ego for company.
