Were ever fools more ludicrous in their folly, or solipsists more the victim of their own unenquiring solipsism? |
Even solipsists look both ways before crossing a street and postmodernists, I suspect, submit their appendicitis to a surgeon, not a semiotician. |
The caretakers do a saintly job, but their own lives are stunted: the doctors are solipsists, the nurses are martyrs, and every patient is going to die. |
Standup comedians and jazz soloists are often pegged, in our public imagination, as professional solipsists in eternal love with the sounds of their own voices. |
Or the ramblings of two solipsists who have trashed what little remained of their reputations? |
Now, at last, it is the men, the vital solipsists, who understand the wordless gestures of their wives. |
