Dick Quote by Tracy McMillan
![“Being a dick is when you're so self-centered, you think your ideas are pretty much the only worthy ones, and you secretly believe other people are inferior to you. [...] You'd rather believe other people just can't handle how awesome you are. And you're right. All that awesomeness sucks, actually.” quote by Tracy McMillan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/529/tracy-mcmillan-13411_dick_being-a-dick-is-when-you-re-so-self-cent_122456.jpg)
