“How little you need to live. At that time [circa 1950 while living in Paris] I already had my philosophy. I said: how silly to always ask for more. The Communists, the Socialists, the unions -- everybody is concentrating on trying to get more, to get more money and more of what money can buy. What would happen if people instead of asking for more and more would ask for less and less? They would be happier, would be healthier, wouldn't eat rich food, they'd give up their cars for bicycles, grow vegetables in the garden; everyone would need less money -- I think that would be an interesting experiment.”
