We never give it a thought and it’s impossible we should, since there is nothing that contrasts with the form of our world. What I wanted to say... Ludwig Wittgenstein

Language disguises the thought; so that from the external form of the clothes one cannot infer the form of the thought they clothe, because the external form of the clothes is constructed with quite another object than to let the form of the body be recognized. Ludwig Wittgenstein
