Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open.
From Ludwig Wittgenstein
If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done.
A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push.

You get tragedy where the tree, instead of bending, breaks.
Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn't find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them.
The human body is the best picture of the human soul.
A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion.
It is an hypothesis that the sun will rise tomorrow: and this means that we do not know whether it will rise.
Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.
