xx"6.54
My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who
understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has
used them - as steps - to climb up beyond them. (He must, so to speak,
throw away the ladder after he has climbed up it.)
xxHe
must transcend these propositions, and then he will see the world aright."
