51. Application of the imperative. Compare these orders:
        Raise your arm.
        Imagine . . .
        Work . . . out in your head
        Consider . . .
        Concentrate your attention on . . .
        See this figure as a cube
with these:
        Intend . . .
        Mean . . . by these words
        Suspect that this is the case
        Believe that it is so
        Be of the firm conviction . . .
        Remember that this happened
        Doubt whether it has happened
        Hope for his return.

Is _this_ the difference, that the first are voluntary, the
second involuntary mental movements? I may rather say that
the verbs of the second group do not stand for actions.
(Compare with this the order: "Laugh heartily at this joke.)
"
- Wittgenstein, Zettel, trans. Anscombe
