    Oh, I don’t know. Anita was quite the wit and Ludwig also played fast and loose in the language game.

    Had Loos and Wittgenstein been raised in nearly identical environments the astrological affinities would’ve held sway, and they would’ve been identical in dress and habit, though Loos would’ve preferred Duke Ellington while Wittengenstein would’ve gone for Count Basie.

    Astrology has its limits.
