Ludwig Wittgenstein Quotes

225. What I hold fast to is not one proposition but a nest of propositions Picture Quote #1

Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony Picture Quote #1
