Hegel seems to me to be always wanting to say that things which look different are really the same. Whereas my interest is in showing that things which look the same are really different. I was thinking of using as a motto for my book a quotation from King Lear: 'Iโll teach you differences'. ... 'Youโd be surprised' wouldnโt be a bad motto either.
Ludwig WittgensteinIt's impossible for me to say one word about all that music has meant to me in my life. How, then, can I hope to be understood?

Ludwig WittgensteinIf anyone is unwilling to descend into himself, because this is too painful, he will remain superficial in his writing. . .
