The pupil will not let anything be explained to him, for he continually interrupts with doubts, for instance as to the existence of things, the meaning for words, etc. The teacher says "Stop interrupting me and do as I tell you. So far your doubts don't make sense at all."

Additional quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

[Drury, Conversation with Wittgenstein, p174]
