I say what it occurs to me to say when I think I hear people say things. More I cannot say.

No. Listen. People come to you, yes?

I think so.

And they ask you to take decisions—about wars, about economies, about people, about everything going on out there in the Universe?

I only decide about my Universe. My Universe is what happens to my eyes and ears. Anything else is surmise and hearsay. For all I know, these people may not exist. You may not exist. I say what it occurs to me to say.

But don't you see? What you decide affects the fate of millions of people.

I don't know them, I've never met them. They only exist in words I think I hear. The men who come say to me, say, so and so wants to declare what we call a war. These are the facts, what do you think? And I say. Sometimes it's a smaller thing. . . .

But it's folly to say you know what is happening to other people. Only they know. If they exist.

Do you think they do?

I have no opinion. How can I have?
