"The ego is the ideal fuel, the fuel that is exciting to burn . . . the best fuel that could be found in the whole universe . . . , the only fuel for wisdom . . . In fact, the very idea of enlightenment exists because of ego . . . Without [the burning of] ego, there wouldn't be the very notion of enlightenment at all."
Chogyam Trungpa,
Tibetan Buddhist rinpoche
