More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
A confession has to be part of your new life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Think of words as instruments characterized by their use, and then think of the use of a hammer, the use of a chisel, the use of a square, of a glue pot, and of the glue.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One can defend common sense against the attacks of philosophers only by solving their puzzles, i.e., by curing them of the temptation to attack common sense.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If you want to go down deep you do not need to travel far indeed, you don't have to leave your most immediate and familiar surroundings.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
People often say that aesthetics is a branch of psychology. The idea is that once we are more advanced-all the mysteries of art-will be understood by psychological experiments. Exceedingly stupid at this idea is, this is roughly it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
