I am not interested in constructing a building, so much as in having a perspicuous view of the foundations of possible buildings.

No one can think a thought for me in the way that no one can don my hat for me.

That the world is, is the mystical.

When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of.

Elementary propositions consist of names.

Since social relationships are always ambiguous, since my thought is only a unit, since my thoughts create rifts as much as they unite, since my words establish contacts by being spoken and create isolation by remaining unspoken, since an immense moat separates the subjective certitude that I have for myself from the objective reality that I represent to others, since I never stop finding myself guilty even though I feel I am innocent.

If you and I are to live religious lives, it mustn't be that we talk a lot about religion, but that our manner of life is different. It is my belief that only if you try to be helpful to other people will you in the end find your way to God.
