WITTGENSTEIN
When Wittgenstein submitted an essay for his BA degree at Cambridge, he did not include a preface and notes indicating the sources that he had used. When asked to supply these, he wrote this letter to G.E. Moore. (Wittgenstein in Cambridge: Letters and Documents 1911-1951, 76.)

Helaas, mijn essays zijn doorgaans korter dan de richtlijnen waaraan ze zouden moeten beantwoorden.
