Mr. Quine,
You appear to accept as fact that a=a. Given that, you accept as true a=a, it follows that there is an existence for you to think this in. In other words your thought that you accept as fact a=a provide the proof of an existence. Further as a=a an existence that you have proof exists (via your thoughts existing) must in order to be an existence, exist. Get it now?
If you don't accept that a=a, then I cannot help you, as that is an axiom.
