More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Make sure that your religion is a matter between you and God only.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Genius is what makes us forget the master's talent.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Suppose we think while we talk or write--I mean, as we normally do--we shall not in general say that we think quicker than we talk, but the thought seems not to be separate from the expression.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A religious symbol does not rest on any opinion. And error belongs only with opinion. One would like to say: This is what took place here laugh, if you can.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All I know is what I have words for.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is not humanly possible to gather immediately from it what the logic of language is. Language disguises thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is possible--indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic--to give in advance a description of all 'true' logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
And to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Believers who have formulated such proofs [for God's existence] ... would never have come to believe as a result of such proofs
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Because our goals are not lofty but illusory, our problems are not difficult, but nonsensical.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Concerning that which cannot be talked about, we should not say anything.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Propositions show what they say: tautologies and contradictions show that they say nothing.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Sometimes, in doing philosophy, one just wants to utter an inarticulate sound.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must plow through the whole of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't for heaven's sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All philosophy is a 'critique of language' (though not in Mauthner's sense). It was Russell who performed the service of showing that the apparent logical form of a proposition need not be its real one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
