Sylvia Plath

“I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don't ask me who I am.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Salman Rushdie
“I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all I have been seen done, of everything done-to-me. I am everyone everything whose being-in-the-world affected was affected by mine. I am anything that happens after I'm gone which would not have happened if I had not come.”
Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children
