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

It is not humanly possible to gather immediately from it what the logic of language is. Language disguises thought.

Not how the world is, but that it is, is the mystery.

Suppose someone follows the series "1,3,5,7, ..", and in writing the series 2x+1; and he asked himself "But am I always doing the same thing, or something different every time?" If from one day to the next someone promises: "Tomorrow I will give up smoking", does he say the same thing every day, or every day something different?

A picture held us captive. And we could not get outside it, for it lay in our language and language seemed to repeat it to us inexorably.

Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.

The solution to the problem of life is seen in the vanishing of this problem.
