Are there many selves? Is there a true self? Are you the one you choose? Or are you the one that chooses you? These and other age-old questions are answered by this collection of pithy sayings and witty rejoinders from the likes of William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Peter Sellers, Jean Paul-Sartre, Gertrude Stein, Carl Jung, Marilyn Monroe, and many more of history's most introspective-and, perhaps, narcissistic-writers, poets, philosophers, musicians, comedians, actors, and politicians. Conceived and edited by Joan Konner, the national bestselling author of The Atheist's Bible, this compendium reaches back across centuries of self-consciousness, self-doubt, and self-love to explore every facet of the idea of the self.
