Egotism: The art of seeing in yourself what others cannot see.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Egotist: a person more interested in himself than in me.
Self-consciousness is really a form of egotism.
You must learn to perceive as your self that which lies outside you. Looking only within oneself leads to a hardening in oneself, to a higher egotism.
When I am out and about I feel watched. It's become second nature. The only time I get to be private is in my work. That is when I liberate the ego. The blessed-out sensation of liberating the ego.
Egotism - usually just a case of mistaken nonentity.
To see yourself, and for others to see you, is a form of validation. I'm interested in that very mysterious and mystical way we relate to each other in the world.
The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention.
Association with human beings lures one into self-observation.
I always define egotistical thoughts as the thoughts I think other people have of me.
The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.
