Quote by Mikhail Kuzmin

“I beg you be logical in the design and structure of your work, in syntax . . . be a skillful builder, both in small things and in the whole . . . love words, as Flaubert did, exercise economy in your means, thrift in the use of words, precision and authenticity—then you will discover the secret of a wonderful thing: beauty clarity.”

The propositions of mathematics are equations, and therefore pseudo-propositions. 6.3 The exploration of logic means the exploration of everything that is subject to law. And outside logic everything is accidental. 6.4 All propositions are of equal value. 6.5 When the answer cannot be put into words, neither can the question be put into words.
