We spend a lot of time in the woods worrying about being killed by logic, three-ring binders, dead Austrians, Heidegger, and other synonymous terms. Join us every other Thursday for a potluck dinner beneath the Cone!
"I would sort and sift Roithamer's legacy, I now concentrated on these two concepts of sorting and sifting and said it aloud several times, sort and sift, and then again several times more, sort and sift, but I will not edit it I won't change a line, I won't move a comma, I shall sort and sift it, I just kept saying sort and sift over and over again and in saying sort and sift out loud I gradually succeeded in calming myself after all, I felt myself calming down while I was saying sort and sift, which is why I repeated it so often and then again, sort and sift, I said to myself, but no editing, absolutely none." (Correction 129)
"I am not a walker either, I have walked but unwillingly all my life, I have always been an unwilling walker, but I walk with friends and I walk in such a way that these friends believe me to be an enthusiastic walker, because I always walk with a panache that amazes them. I am absolutely no walker, neither am I a nature lover nor a nature expert. But when I have friends with me I always walk in a way that makes them believe I am a walker and a nature lover and a nature expert. I do not know nature at all and I hate it because it is killing me." (Wittgenstein's Nephew 62)
