• “Our language can be seen as an ancient city: a maze of little streets and squares, of old and new houses, and of houses with additions from various periods; and this surrounded by a multitude of new boroughs with straight regular streets and uniform houses.”

• “Philosophical problems can be compared to locks on safes, which can be opened by dialing a certain word or number, so that no force can open the door until just this word has been hit upon, and once it is hit upon any child can open it.”

• “Philosophers are often like little children, who first scribble random lines on a piece of paper with their pencils, and now ask an adult “What is that?””

• “Don’t say: “They must have something in common, or they would not be called ‘games’” but look and see whether there is anything common to all.

• “The difficulty in philosophy is to say no more than we know.”
