Famous quotes containing the words ego and/or involvement:
“No other man-made device since the shields and lances of the ancient knights fulfills a man’s ego like an automobile.”

“The mother whose self-image is dependent on her children places on those children the responsibility for her own identity, and her involvement in the details of their lives can put great pressure on the children. A child suffers when everything he or she does is extremely important to a parent; this kind of over-involvement can turn even a small problem into a crisis.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
