“Who I am is unimportant. But who I am is very important. I’ll suppress my ego now, every occurring now, so I can achieve my maximum later.”

“I am who I pretend to be, and right now I’m pretending to be my own clone.”

“It occurs to me to devise mental tests on myself to see if I am who I think I am, but then I think, “I am who I think I am, or I probably am, and a test I conceive and answer about myself isn’t a way to test if I’m another person pretending to be me, because no matter how I answer I’ll answer like myself, thus falsely proving to myself that I am who I think I am.” No, what I need is for my clone to create and administer the test.”

“I am the now of the then. My body is the embodiment of all my ancestors who came before me. They live on in me.”

“I am what I am, and I don’t need to prove it—least of all to myself. And I’ll be damned if I ever answer to my clone. Who is he to question me?”

“The question is not where am I, but who am I? Where I am: Inside the body of my clone.”

“I need your compliments to feed my ego, because it’s bored of mac and cheese. And honestly, so am I.”
