Quotes by Friedrich Waismann (?)

“A law of nature is never true in the sense in which 'He is an amusing fellow' may be; and the two latter statements are not true in the sense in which 'I've' got a headache' is ... Again, in what sense is one to say of a proverb that it is true? Have you ever tried to put some rare and subtle experience, or some half-forgotten (but strong) impression into words? If you do, you will find that truth, in this case, is inseperably tied up with the literary quality of your writing: it needs no less than a poet to express fully and faithfully such fragile states of mind.”
― Friedrich Waismann
