Zettel (German) translates to note, paper, label, slip or list.

no.173 Only in the stream of thought and life do words have meaning

no.234 What happens is not that this symbol cannot be further interpreted, but: I do no interpreting. I do not interpret, because I feel at home in the present picture. When I interpret, I step from one level of thought to another

no.314 the difficulty - I might say - is not that of finding the solution but rather that of recognizing as the solution something that looks as if it were only a preliminary to it... This is connected, I believe, with our wrongly expecting an explanation, whereas the solution to the difficulty is a description, if we give it the right place in our considerations. If we dwell upon it, and do not try to get beyond it. The difficulty here is: to stop.... for you are already ‘at’ where you need to be; there is no necessity to ‘go beyond’ your present circumstances – the way to ‘go on’ can be found ‘there’.
