“I am better than good.”

“I will break obstacles to happiness, to goodness - yes, goodness. I wish to be a better man than I have been, than I am”

“I am not a very good man, Effie, but I think that I am a better one than you have given me credit for being.”

“The Three Kinds of Pride are: (1) thinking I am better than the other(s); (2) thinking I am worse than the other(s); and (3) thinking I am just as good as the other(s).”

“These reasonings are unconnected: "I am richer than you, therefore I am better"; "I am more eloquent than you, therefore I am better." The connection is rather this: "I am richer than you, therefore my property is greater than yours;" "I am more eloquent than you, therefore my style is better than yours." But you, after all, are neither property nor style.”

“And no, I think i'm better than you because I am better than you.”
