Quotes by Ego Man is a machine, but a very peculiar machine. He is a machine which, in right circumstances, and with right treatment, can know that he is a machine, and having fully realized this, he may find the ways to cease to be a machine. First of all, what man must know is that he is not one; he is many. He has not one permanent and unchangeable “I” or Ego. He is always different. One moment he is one, another moment he is another, the third moment he is a third, and so on, almost without end. P.D. Ouspensky egomaymen Shyness is just egotism out of its depth.

Pema Chodron egonoblesuffering Finding the courage to go to the places that scare us cannot happen without compassionate inquiry into the workings of ego... Openness doesn't come from resisting our fears but from getting to know them well. Pema Chodron inquiryscareego Ego is something that you come to know - something that you befriend by not acting out or by repressing all the feelings that you feel. Pema Chodron egoactingfeelings All ego really is, is our opinions, which we take to be solid, real, and the absolute truth about how things are. Pema Chodron egoopinionreal If I have enough ego to say I'm a writer, a director, a producer, and an actor, I should have the energy and the knowledge to write a scene for this great actor named Henry Fonda and direct him in it and have it work.
