Thinking the world revolves around you doesn't make it so.

 Being self-absorbed doesn't affect the world. It just makes you dumb.

The idea of hell is liberating to me; it cures me of the grandiosity that I will have taken more than I have given from an Infinite God.

Live like a rich person, spend like a poor person.

 Especially if you're poor.

No one is selfish. To think otherwise is not selfish, but wrong.

The only time this sentence was false was at the exact moment it was written.

[Paraphrased] Socrates: Everyone is ignorant. Polemarchus: Why? Socrates: Everyone thinks that they know. Polemarchus: Not you. Socrates: Me as well. I think that I know that.

No one can ever totally invalidate you, because you've been born.

 You'll always have existed.

The path and fruit of arahant are identical except inasmuch as path is the shift to the very first moment of arahant

 The fruit involves a shift from a moment of arahant to another moment of arahant, but it's equally arahantish. The path involves leaving behind unarahantishness, but the path is still arahanted. The fruit on the other hand doesn't need any leaving behind of its previous moment, which was also arahanty.

The term "validation seeking" is nothing but pseudo-psychological babble.

If there's a grain of truth in every criticism, what about the criticism, "nothing you say has even a grain of truth!"
