  1. "Le monde est la totalité des faits, non des choses."

    "Les frontières de mon langage sont les frontières de mon monde."

    "La mort n’est pas un événement de la vie. On ne vit pas la mort. Si l’on entend par éternité non pas la durée infinie mais l’intemporalité, alors il a la vie éternelle celui qui vit dans le présent."
