When philosophers use a word--"knowledge," "being," "object," "I," "proposition," "name"--and try to grasp the essence of the thing, one must always ask oneself: is the word ever actually used in this way in the language-game which is its original home?--What we do is to bring words back from their metaphysical to their everyday use.

Don't ask what it means, but rather how it is used.

We are asleep. Our Life is a dream. But we wake up sometimes, just enough to know that we are dreaming.
