Ray Monk describing Wittgenstein's thoughts on philosophy:
"He said about philosophy that he could only really philosophise with someone with whom he could hold hands...there's a kind of sympathy required so as not to feel that you're constantly being misinterpreted or interpreted uncharitably or whatever it might be, that, you, you feel some kind of sympathy, he even described it one time as a kind of erotic sympathy, you need some kind of empathy, some sort of connexion and its if you publish something, its then very difficult I think, or maybe impossible, to establish that kind of communication that's ideal."
