Tractatus logico-philosophicus

A philosophical work by Ludwig Wittgenstein

5.555

It is clear that we have a concept of the elementary proposition apart from its special logical form. Where, however, we can build symbols according to a system, there this system is the logically important thing and not the single symbols. And how would it be possible that I should have to deal with forms in logic which I can invent: but I must have to deal with that which makes it possible for me to invent them.
