Ego is borne of the need to ‘prove’ oneself instead of making the choice to ‘be’ oneself. And so maybe we need to begin curbing the birthrate.

If I am indeed my own god, I’d better start praying to myself to get myself out of myself.

An obese ego is just about the heaviest thing you’ll ever carry. So maybe you should stop feeding it.

If it has anything to do with me, it has nothing to do with sacrifice.

The assumption is that if I expend myself for myself in the end all I’ll be left with is myself, and that alone is frightening. But what I’ve failed to consider is that I have to expend so much of myself living for myself that in the end I’m really left with very little of myself, and that is unimaginably frightening.

To declare myself as a genius immediately evidences that I am not.
