« 5.5303 »

Ludwig Wittgenstein, proposition 5.5303:

"Roughly speaking: to say of two things that they are identical is nonsense, and to say of one thing that it is identical with itself is to say nothing."

Indeed:

unique = different; it is exactly because you are different (i.e. unique) that you are beyond comparison; all comparisons are approximations, rough groupings; you are incomparably self-same.
