“I—What on earth just happened?”“Well, nothing on Earth, obviously.”

“Tell me," Wittgenstein's asked a friend, "why do people always say, it was natural for man to assume that the sun went round the earth rather than that the earth was rotating?" His friend replied, "Well, obviously because it just looks as though the Sun is going round the Earth." Wittgenstein replied, "Well, what would it have looked like if it had looked as though the Earth was rotating?”

“If everything on earth were rational, nothing would happen.”

“If a man tried to take his time on earth and prove before he died, what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world?”

“They [the stars] just kept shining, no matter what was going on. I think of the light here like that, like a splinter of a star that's fallen to earth: it just shines, no matter what is happening.”

“Dying? Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning.”
