My whole tendency and, I believe, the
tendency of all men who ever tried to write or talk Ethics or Religion
was to run against the boundaries of language. This running against
the walls of our cage is perfectly, absolutely hopeless. Ethics so far
as it springs from the desire to say something about the ultimate
meaning of life, the absolute good, the absolute valuable, can be no
science. What it says does not add to our knowledge in any sense. But
it is a document of a tendency in the human mind which I personally
cannot help respecting deeply and I would not for my life ridicule it.
--Ludwig Wittgenstein
