    6.54  My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who
    understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has
    climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to
    speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.)

    He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world
    rightly.

    Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

    -- Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Routledge and Kegan Paul, London, 1922
