The following passages, in which I spill my aching love, is dedicated to the very many cute women who I cannot speak to on any level, and who tire me due to the acrobatics I must engage.
First Part of Love Poem (Zettel)
220. Consciousness in another's face. Look into someone else's face, and see the consciousness in it, and a particular shade of consciousness. You see on it, in it, joy, indifference, interest, excitement, torpor and so on. The light in other people's faces.
Do you look into yourself in order to recognize the fury in his face? It is there as clearly as in your own breast.
(And what do we want to say now? That someone else's face stimulates me to imitate it, and that I therefore feel little movement and muscle-contractions in my own face and mean the sum of these? Nonsense. Nonsense,--because you are making assumptions instead of simply describing. If your head is haunted by explanations here, you are neglecting to remind yourself of the most important facts).
247. For what does it mean "to discover that a sentence does not make sense"?
And what does this mean: "if I mean something by it, surely it must make sense."
The first presumably means: not to be mislead by the appearance of a sentence and to investigate its application in the language-game.
And "if I mean something by it"--does it mean something like: "if I can imagine something in connexion with it"?--An image often leads on to a further application.
255. How can one learn the truth by thinking? As one leans to see a face better if one draws it.
315. "Why do you demand explanations? If they are given to you, you will once more be facing a terminus. They cannot get you any further than you are at present."
362. These people are acquainted with reddish green--"But there is no such thing!"--What an extraordinary sentence.--(How do you know?)
363. Let's just put it like this: Must people notice the discrepancy? Perhaps they are too stupid. And again: perhaps not that either.--
372. One imagines the feeble-minded under the aspects of the degenerate, the essentially incomplete, as it were in tatters. And so under that of disorder instead of a more primitive order (which would be a far more fruitful way of looking at them). We just don't see a society of such people.
