Reading Wittgenstein is like reading Feynman, each sentence clear as it sits, but getting harder and harder to follow or even remember as my reading goes on. ( )

This is another book, like Churchill's "Painting as a Pastime," which I give as a special gift from out of left field, for "Wenn die Menschen nicht manchmal Dummheiten machten, geshahe uberhaupt nichts Gesheites (If people did not sometimes do silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.)"
