    BRIAN:
    Look. You’ve got it all wrong.
    You don’t need to follow me. You don’t need to follow anybody!
    You’ve got to think for yourselves. You’re all individuals!

    FOLLOWERS: [in perfect unison]
    Yes, we’re all individuals!

    BRIAN:
    You’re all different!

    FOLLOWERS:
    Yes, we are all different!

    DENNIS:
    I’m not.

    ARTHUR:
    Shhhh.

    FOLLOWERS:
    Shh. Shhhh. Shhh.

    I was thinking of starting a Union of Solipsists, but I thought I’d delegate the task.

    Someone once supposedly said to Bertrand Russell, non-jokingly, “I’m a solipsist, and I’ve always been surprised there aren’t more of us.”

    As told in George H. Smith’s “Atheism: The Case Against God,” quoting Russell:

    “As against solipsism, it is to be said, in the first place, that it is psychologically impossible to believe, and is rejected in fact even by those who mean to accept it. I once received a letter from an eminent logician, Mrs. Christine Ladd Franklin, saying that she was a solipsist, and was surprised that there were no others. Coming from a logician, this surprise surprised me.”
