"My ego taught me a new pride, I teach it to mankind: no longer bury your head in the sand of heavenly things, but bear it freely instead, an earthly head that creates a meaning for the earth!"

Trying to convince someone to adopt our views is largely the work of our ego. Even if we turn out to be right, our ego knows no satisfaction and seeks a new argument to engage in.

'oh, sure. lockwood's noted for his lack of vanity and ego. you know that tousled bed-hair thing he's got going on? takes him hours at the mirror to get that fixed just right.'
'no, it doesn't. does it? how do you know that? you're making it up.'
'am i? what's your company called? remind me. the portland row agency, maybe? marylebone ghost-hunters...? no! it's lockwood and co. jeez. how modest. i'm surprised your official logo isn't a photo of his grinning face, maybe with a cheesy sparkle glinting on his teeth.'

There is no place for pride or denial when it comes to falling in love with Dahlia. I got my second shot at winning her over, and I refuse to squander it because of my ego or stubbornness.
'I spent half the day riding around in an automobile.'
'Was there something you needed to do?'
Cheek resting on his hand, the elder colleague replied with complete abandon, 'No, I just felt like riding around.'
The words released him into a world of which he knew nothing – a world of 'ego' close to the gods. He felt a kind of pain but, at the same time, a kind of joy.

Egon 𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑎𝑘 onun bilincine vardığın an ölür. Tıpkı ışığın karşısında hiçbir gücü olmayan 𝑘𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑙𝚤𝑘 gibi.

Be afraid of your ego, be afraid of your lust, be afraid of your greed, be afraid of your possessiveness; be afraid of your jealousy—but there is no question of being afraid of love. I ve is divine! Love is like light. When there is light, darkness cannot exist. When there is love, fear cannot exist.
Having to record, in ink, on paper, that you procrastinated over a task for no good reason is a powerful blow to your ego. It might be easy to tell yourself a few weak excuses for putting off a tedious assignment, but when you have to record these same excuses on paper their foolishness is exposed.

Ah well, he envies her: would that he had it so easy! All life is a service, he knows that. To live in the full sense of the word is not to exist or subsist merely, but to make oneself over, to give oneself: to some high purpose, to others, to some social end, to life itself beyond the shell of ego. But he, lacking superiors, must devote himself to abstractions, never knowing when he has succeeded, when he has failed, or even if he has the abstractions right, whereas she, needing no others, has him. He would like to explain this to her, to case the pain of her routine, of her chastisement-what he calls his disciplinary interventions-but he knows that it is he, not she, who is forever in need of such explanations.

“My Iris,” he said, “there is no question that you are the brave one, all on your own. You were writing to me for weeks before I roused the courage to write you back. You walked into the Gazette and took me and my ego on without a blink. You were the one who came to the front lines, unafraid to look into the ugly face of war long before I did. I don’t know who I would be without you, but you have made me in all ways better than I ever was or could have ever hoped to be.”
Ego Consumans [Tüketen Ego]
Bugüne kadar Amerikalı ev kadınlarının birkaç grevi ve zaman zaman görülen tüketim malları tahribi dışında (Amerikalı kadınların sutyenlerini herkesin içinde yaktığı 1968 Mayıs'ı-No Bra Day) bu çelişkiler hiçbir yerde ya da hemen hemen hiçbir yerde bilinçli olarak ortaya çıkmadı. Hatta her şeyin bunun tersine geliştiğini söylemek gerek. "Modern dünyada tüketici neyi temsil ediyor: Hiçbir şeyi. Tüketici ne olabilir? Her şey ya da hemen hemen her şey. Milyonlarca yalnızın yanında tek başı- na kaldığı için tüketici çıkarların merhametine kalmıştır".

"Jobel shrugged. 'You know,' he said, 'if that statue had actually been made of stone, I doubt if it would have killed you.'
The Time Lord looked bemused. 'Realy?'
'No, it would take a mountain to crush an ego such as yours."
