Notable quotes

“There is good evidence for a sensorimotor self, an emotional and motivational self probably represented in the right hemisphere, a social self-system, and perhaps an appetitive self. All these self-systems ordinarily work in reasonable coordination with each other, though they can be in conflict at times.”
— Bernard J. Baars, "Understanding Subjectivity: Global Workspace Theory and the Resurrection of the Observing Self" Journal of Consciousness Studies, 3, No. 3, 1996, pp. 211-16
“If there is a community of computers living in my head, there had also better be somebody who is in charge; and, by God, it had better be me.”
— Jerry Fodor, "The Trouble with Psychological Darwinism" London Review of Books, Vol. 20 No. 2, 22 January 1998, pp.11-13
“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
— Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections (1963)
“We are unknown to ourselves, we knowers: and with good reason. We have never looked for ourselves — so how are we ever supposed to find ourselves? … We remain strange to ourselves out of necessity, we do not understand ourselves, we must confusedly mistake who we are, the motto, 'everyone is furthest from himself' applies to us for ever, - we are not 'knowers' when it comes to ourselves…”
— Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morality, Preface
“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.”

“Self-image is the beginning and ending of living, I think.”
