"The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language."

Philosophy

"Put a man in the wrong atmosphere and nothing will function as it should. He will seem unhealthy in every part. Put him back into his proper element and everything will blossom and look healthy. But if he is not in his right element, what then? Well, then he just has to make the best of appearing before the world as a cripple."

Logic

"Everything that can be thought at all can be thought clearly. Everything that can be said can be said clearly."

Clarity
