Summary

This quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein suggests that language plays a crucial role in shaping our perception and understanding of the world around us. It implies that language not only helps us communicate and express our thoughts, but it also shapes our thoughts to some extent. Different languages have distinct ways of constructing meaning and categorizing phenomena, leading to varied perspectives on reality. Therefore, if we were fluent in a different language, our perception of reality would be influenced by the unique concepts and terms inherent to that language, ultimately offering us a slightly different perspective on the world.

The puritanical potentialities of science have never been forecast. If it evolves a body of organized rites, and is established as a religion, hierarchically organized, things more than anything else will be done in the name of decency. The coarse fumes of tobacco and liquors, the consequent tainting of the breath and staining of white fingers and teeth, which is so offensive to many women, will be the first things attended to.
