Ludwig Wittgenstein
“You sometimes see in a wind a piece of paper blowing about anyhow. Suppose the piece of paper could make the decision: ‘Now I want to go this way.’ I say: ‘Queer, this paper always decides where it is to go, and all the time it is the wind that blows it. I know it is the wind that blows it.’ That same force which moves it also in a different way moves its decisions.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Rollo May

Richard Rorty

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“The mechanism which we don't understand is not anything in our soul, but rather that of the life of this expression.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Think, for example, of the words which you perhaps utter in this space of time. They are no longer part of this language. And in different surroundings the institution of money doesn’t exist either.”
