"I can prove now, for instance, that two human hands exist. How? By holding up my two hands, and saying, as I make a certain gesture with the right hand, 'Here is one hand,' and adding, as I make a certain gesture with the left, 'and here is another.' By doing this, I have proved ipso facto the existence of external things . . . there is no need to multiply examples."
