Perhaps what I am about to say will appear strange to you gentlemen, socialists, progressives, humanitarians as you are, but I never worry about my neighbor, I never try to protect society which does not protect me -- indeed, I might add, which generally takes no heed of me except to do me harm -- and, since I hold them low in my esteem and remain neutral towards them, I believe that society and my neighbor are in my debt.

Alexandre Dumas

But self-abasement is just inverted egoism. Anyone who acts with genuine humility will be as far from humiliation as from arrogance.

Declare your jihad on thirteen enemies you cannot see -egoism, arrogance, conceit, selfishness, greed, lust, intolerance, anger, lying, cheating, gossiping and slandering. If you can master and destroy them, then you will be read to fight the enemy you can see.

Yuvraj Singh is one of the best batsmen to watch in world cricket when he's in form. He is ego personified. Yuvraj doesn’t just hit the ball, he lets it rebound off his aura.

Х- Какво е любовен егоизъм?
Y- Да си пълен егоист и да обичаш друг пълен егоист.
Х - Ама това е невъзможно. Егоизмът означава само себелюбие.
Y - Как да не е възможно?! За мен любовта е движеща креативна енергия, много по-силна от силата на егоизма. Ще я подхраня с още една доза егоизъм и дори ще прибавя утилитаризъм.
Х - Ама как така? Любовта никога не може да бъде планувана.
Y - Забрави да напишеш "краткотрайната". Забрави да кажеш и, че любовта е субективна. Аз обичам по един начин, мен ме обичат по друг. Какво нещо са думичките, а...?!
Х - Не знам.
Y - И аз. Затова ме обичай.
X - Ама ти си голям егоист...
Y - Затова те обичам.

Here libido and ego-interest share the same fate and have once more become indistinguishable from each other. The familiar egoism of the sick person covers them both. We find it so natural because we are certain that in the same situation we should behave in just the same way. The way in which the readiness to love, however great, is banished by bodily ailments, and suddenly replaced by complete indifference, is a theme which has been sufficiently exploited by comic writers.

Sigmund Freud
