Solipsistic Self Quotes

“When confronting their distorted way of living, personal essayists must inevitably deal with the horrors of the solipsistic self. Essayists remind us to be astutely aware that life is what occurs before death, and because life is the only truth that we will ever experience, we might as well attempt to get our arms around it and embrace it with all our might. In contrast to the essayist’s desire to make clear-cut distinctions, poetry is an airy art form that makes ample use of metaphors and allusions.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster

“Solipsism is the idea that (to use a well-worn phrase) there’s only one of us here, a creative consciousness forever experiencing permutations of itself … for whatever reason.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality
