Why don't I find among the living men who see higher than I do and have to look down on me? Is it only that I have made a poor search? And I have so great a longing for such.

"There is no discovery that 13 follows 12. That is our technique - we fix, we teach, our technique that way. If there is a discovery ---- it is that this is a valuable thing to do so." (Wittgenstein - Foundations of Mathematics)
