“The aim of the book is to set a limit to thought, or rather - not to thought, but to the expression of thoughts: for in order to be able to set a limit to thought, we should have to find both sides of the limit thinkable (i.e. we should have to be able to think what cannot be thought). It will therefore only be in language that the limit can be set, and what lies on the other side of the limit will simply be nonsense.” ThinkingShouldBookAbleLyingOrderLanguageSidesExpressionLimitsShould HaveAimNonsenseBoth SidesThinkable Book:Wittgenstein's Tractatus Source: Wittgenstein's Tractatus

“It is the assumption of this book that there is a typical human nature. It is the aim of this book to seek it. Just like a surgeon, a psychiatrist can make all sorts of basic assumptions when a patient lies down upon the couch. He can assume that the patient knows what it means to love, to envy, to trust, to think, to speak, to fear, to smile, to bargain, to covet, to dream, to remember, to sing, to quarrel, to lie. The 'smile' of a baboon is a threat; the smile of a man is a sign of pleasure: it is human nature, the world over.” ThinkingKnowsMenWorldHumansMeanBookDreamRememberLyingSpeakPleasureHuman NatureEvolutionAimAssumingThreatPatientEnvyAssumptionTypicalQuarrelsCouchesPsychiatristBargainsSurgeonsBaboons Author:Matt Ridley
