Only the ego resists egos. The spirit may notice egos, but sees beyond them and does not engage with them.
Alan Cohen
Image
Even though we want huge individual egos, our collective ego is unbelievable.
Mike Krzyzewski
Image
Vanity, fear, desire, competition - all such distortions within our own egos - condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other.
Tennessee Williams
Image
The larger the ego, the less the need for other egos around. The more modest, humble, and self-effacing we feel, the more we suffer from solitude, feeling ourselves inadequate company.
Barbara Holland
Image
A boardroom is a collection of individuals, and individuals have varying motives, egos, agendas and qualifications. Sometimes the dynamics can go off track.
Carly Fiorina
Image
I'm just trying to rid the world of all these fevered egos that are tainting our collective unconscious.
Bill Hicks
Image
I had no ambition when I was a kid other than to play guitar and get in a rock 'n' roll band. I don't really like to be the guy in the white suit at the front. Like in the Beatles, I was the one who kept quiet at the back and let the other egos be at the front.
George Harrison
Image
The best comics editors have the smallest egos. The worst ones feel like they have to justify their salaries by making changes just so they can leave their fingerprints. Every creative medium has those guys, and they're all loathsome.
Mark Waid
Image
When you hit the big time, big money, big egos, people don't talk. You have no friends.
Willard Scott
Image
Lives are only one with living. How dare we, in our egos, claim catastrophe in the rise and fall of the individual entity? There is only Life, and we are beads strung on its strong and endless thread.
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
Image
The best part of it for me is the idea that this group of young men, who came together and believed in themselves, bought the team concept completely, took the names off the back of the jerseys, checked the egos at the door.
Tom Coughlin
Image
To be able to love and live in freedom means to be able to make godly decisions. To make godly decisions we have to surrender our egos and all the falsity and shame that goes with it.
James McGreevey
Image
Cooks must feed their egos as well as their customers.
M. F. K. Fisher
Image
In the light of our egos, we are all dethroned monarchs
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Since the so-called Age of Enlightenment, our shaky anthropocentric, rationalist egos have been brainwashed to forget what 'primitive' cultures once understood: Animals can be manifestations of celestial beings in disguise they possess supernatural abilities, and they can be our spiritual guides and healers.
Zeena Schreck
Image
Male egos require constant stroking. Every task is an achievement, every success epic. That is why women cook, but men are chefs: we make cheese on toast, they produce pain de fromage.
Belle de Jour
Image
The music is first and foremost everything - no egos, no attitude, nothing - it's about the music.
Big Boi
Image
They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.
William S. Burroughs
Image
A coach has to worry not so much about creating motivation, esprit de corps, as about destroying it. The true competitor has it he wouldn't be a star if he didn't. So you have to mold all these egos together and make sure in your selection of people that you don't destroy the feeling of togetherness or morale, because it is a fragile thing.
Dick Motta
Image
Wealth is not to feed our egos but to feed the hungry and to help people help themselves.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
Over and over, we are broken on the shore of life. Our stubborn egos are knocked around, and our frightened hearts are broken open—not once, and not in predictable patterns, but in surprising ways and for as long as we live.
Elizabeth Lesser
Image
Some people drink to unleash their libidos, and other people drink to prop up their egos.
Lou Reed
Image
Fragile egos are put on the line every day.
Mary Lou Retton
Image
Comedians are sometimes resentful of their writers. Probably because it's hard for giant egos to admit you need anyone but yourself to be what you are.
Dick Cavett
