Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
If in life we are surrounded by death, so too in the health of our intellect by madness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If a person tells me he has been to the worst places I have no reason to judge him but if he tells me it was his superior wisdom that enabled him to go there, then I know he is a fraud.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language disguises thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The human body is the best picture of the human soul.

And to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
