Intolerance itself is a form of egoism, and to condemn egoism intolerantly is to share it.

The egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity; rather, the more our egoism is satisfied, the more robust is our belief.

Thank God!
Thank God! I was not caught; he only.
It is nothing but selfishness.
Thank God! I got a child unlike her.
It is nothing but egoism.

In brief, egoism in its modern interpretation, is the antithesis, not of altruism, but of idealism.

I have been judged to be a pessimist but what abyss of ignorance and low egoism is not hidden in one who thinks that Man is the god of himself and that his future can only be triumphant?

But egoism is more than this. It is the realization by the individual that he is above all institutions and all formulas; that they exist only so far as he chooses to make them his own by accepting them.

There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.

For a solitary animal egoism is a virtue that tends to preserve and improve the species: in any kind of community it becomes a destructive vice.

Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.

Pre-History
Something
in the head
freezes the mind.
If I could rip open
my brain
and alter
the egoism
and atrocities beneath,
some lives
could have been saved.
Or perhaps,
I’d just
bury the brain.
End of genocide.

Can you believe it?
Can you believe it?
Can you believe it?
That man did alot of greed,
Can you believe it?
That Iam on my own,
Eating the Egoism of my own,
You will make it and see gladness,
I will suffer that I may see maturity in man,
There is the man that will believe in redemption,
Hold on and see that you made me believe it,
That maybe in my own understanding,
There is that great redemption,
Hold on every word and see that you made me believe in good fruit's.

Just One Minute
Mind is very beautiful phenomenon,
It thinks what we want it to,
If something is sensed being negative,
It provides us the complete chain of how those things could be perceived of being negative,
This develops a fog of negativity and pathetic egoism,
And then the soul; So much child,
Can't balance the facts of positive and negative,
So take your chances and gush the water of truth in the mind,
Believe me...
It just takes a minute...

You're a Star,
You're a Star,
You're a Star,
There are no More Felonies,
In me,
This is that Star that conforms to an Image,
The Egoism was not a Mistake,
Born the Fire that will Bring Eternity,
Seen as that Image of the Star's,
Judgement will be passed on EVIL DOERS,
Fornication will End,
Judgement will Come,
A New Understanding that will Bring REDEMPTION for HUMANE.
