هاي ذكرتني بأُغنية:

By Albrecht Dürer

During his PhD discussion, Wittgenstein brought the discussion to an end by clapping each of his examiners on the shoulder and remarking consolingly:
‘Don’t worry, I know you’ll never understand it.’

Dickens dream,
By R. W. Buss

سُودوا من لا تُعابونَ بسؤدَدِه

- العِقد الفريد

قيلَ لأعرابي: ما بالُ الحب اليومَ على غيرِ ما كانَ عليه قبلَ اليوم؟ قال: نَعم، كانَ الحبُّ في القلب فانتقلَ إلى المعدة، إنْ أطعَمتَهُ شيئًا أحبّها، وإلا فلا. كانَ الرجلُ يُحِبّ المرأةَ، يُطيفُ بدارِها حَولًا ويَفرَح إنْ رأى من رآها، وإنْ ظَفَرَ منها بمَجلِسٍ تَشاكَيا وتناشدا الأشعار، وإنّه اليومَ يُشيرُ إليها وتُشيرُ إليه ويَعِدُها وتَعِدُه، فإذا اجتمعا لم يَشكوا حبًّا، ولَم يُنشِدا شِعرًا، ولكن يَرفَعُ رِجلَيها ويَطلُبُ الولد.

Moinho primitivo,
By Dario Villares Barbosa

The very simplicity and nakedness of man's life in the primitive ages imply this advantage at least, that they left him still but a sojourner in nature. When he was refreshed with food and sleep he contemplated his journey again. He dwelt, as it were, in a tent in this world, and was either threading the valleys, or crossing the plains, or climbing the mountain tops.
But lo! men have become the tools of their tools. The man who independently plucked the fruits when he was hungry has become a farmer; and he who stood under a tree for shelter, a housekeeper. We now no longer camp as for a night, but have settled down on earth and forgotten heaven. We have adopted Christianity merely as an improved method of agriculture.
We have built for this world a family mansion, and for the next a family tomb. The best works of art are the expression of man's struggle to free himself from this condition, but the effect of our art is merely to make this low state comfortable and that higher state to be forgotten.

- Walden, by H. D. Thoreau

Most men appear never to have considered what a house is, and are actually though needlessly poor all their lives because they think that they must have such a one as their neighbors have. As if one were to wear any sort of coat which the tailor might cut out for him, or, gradually leaving off palmleaf hat or cap of woodchuck skin, complain of hard times because he could not afford to buy him a crown.

- Walden, by H. D. Thoreau

يبدو أنّ أغلبَ الناس لا يفكرونَ أبدًا بماهيةِ البيت رغمَ أنّهم فقراءُ بلا داعي طولَ حياتِهم بسبب اعتقادِهم أنّهم يجب أنْ يملِكوا واحدًا مثلَ الذي يملِكُه جيرانُهم. الأمرُ كما لو أنّه مستعدٌ لارتداءِ أيًا يكن الرداءُ الذي يفصِّلُهُ له الخياط، أو أنّه يتركُ قبعةَ الخُوصِ وقلنسوة الجِلد، ثُمّ يشتكي من فُقرِ الحال لأنّه لا يَحتمِلُ كُلفةَ شراءِ تاج.

- والْدِن، لـِ هنري ديفيد ثورو

Nietzsche was ineluctably led to meditation on the coming to be of God—on God-creation—for God is the highest value, on which the others depend. God is not creative, for God is not. But God as made by man reflects what man is, unbeknownst to himself. God is said to have made the world of concern to us out of nothing; so man makes something, God, out of nothing. The faith in God and the belief in miracles are closer to the truth than any scientific explanation, which has to overlook or explain away the creative in man. Moses, overpowered by the obscure drives within him, went to the peak of Sinai and brought back tables of values; these values had a necessity, a substantiality more compelling than health or wealth. They were the core of life. There are other possible tables of values—one thousand and one, according to Zarathustra—

- Allan Bloom

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) was by universal agreement one of greatest and one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. There, however, the agreement stops.
From 1929 until his death in 1951, Wittgenstein worked out a new way of doing philosophy that has no precedent in the history of the subject. It is a way of approaching philosophy that tries to remain faithful to the insight he had in the Tractatus that philosophy cannot be a science, or anything like a science. It is not a body of doctrine but an activity, the activity of clearing up the confusions caused by the bewitchments cast by language.

Short-lived habits (Aphorism 295)
From 'The Joyful Science'

الكلام كلش هواي اذا أنشره كتابة، ف نشرته فويس أحسن

لا تَعذِليني فَالقُرى أَرَبي
حَيثُ الحَياةُ رَغائِبٌ وَمُنى

حَيثُ النُجومُ تَلوحُ سافِرَةً
لَم تَلتَحِف سِترًا وَلا كَفَنا

وَالفَجرُ مِلءُ جُيوبِهِ أَرَجٌ
وَالطَيرُ يَملَأُ شَدوُها الوُكُنا

وَعَلى الرُبى الأَظلالُ راقِصَةٌ
وَيَدُ النَسيمِ تُداعِبُ الغُصُنا

وَيحَ المَدائِنِ إِنَّ ساكِنَها
كَالمَيتِ لَم يُطمَر وَلا دُفِنا

كَم رُحتُ أَستَسقي سَحائِبَها
فَهَمَت وَلَكِن مِحنَةً وَضَنى

وَلَكَم سَهِرتُ فَلَم أَجِد قَمَرًا
وَلَكَم شَدَوتُ فَلَم أَجِد أُذُنا

لَو كانَ يَألَفُ بُلبُلٌ غَرِدٌ
قَفَصًا أَحَبَّ الشاعِرُ المُدُنا

كَرِهَ الوَرى طولَ المُقامِ بِها
فَاِستَنبَطوا العَجَلاتِ وَالسُفُنا
