"I tried to figure out who I wasn't... put the fake first person next to the true first person... I was splitting the I into false and true I's and I just wanted to see if this false I was more or less real than the true I... And of course there's no difference."
~ Kathy Acker

"If my pages are as plentifully sprinkled with ‘I’s’ as was the chief ornament of Hood’s peacock, ‘who thought he had the eyes of Europe on his tail,’ I can only say, that the ‘I’s’ are essential to the story I have told.

~ Mark Twain
