It is obvious that an imagined world, however different it may be from the real one, must have something - a form - in common with it. - Ludwig Wittgenstein

Our civilization is characterized by the word progress. Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only as a means to this end, not as an end in itself. For me on the contrary clarity, perspicuity are valuable in themselves.

A certeza é por assim dizer um tom de voz em que alguém declara como são as coisas, mas não se infere desse tom que tem razão.

We feel that even when all possible scientific questions have been answered, the problems of life remain completely untouched.
