Ego is like a room of your own, a room with a view with the temperature and the smells and the music that you like. You want it your own way. You'd just like to have a little peace, you'd like to have a little happiness, you know, just gimme a break.
Pema Chodron (2001). “Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living”, p.65, Shambhala Publications
