Notes and topics
"Wed. night" "Wittgenstein surprised me the other day; he suddenly said how he admired the text 'what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul' and then went on to say how few there are who don't lose their soul. I said it depended more on suffering and the power to endure it. I was surprised—I hadn't expected that kind of thing from him."
