More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world is made up of facts, not things.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When I obey a rule, I do not choose. I obey the rule blindly .
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If you use a trick in logic, whom can you be tricking other than yourself?
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Frazer is much more savage than most of his savages, for they are not as far removed from the understanding of spiritual matter as a twentieth-century Englishman. His explanations of primitive practices are much cruder than the meaning of these practices themselves.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What is thinkable is also possible.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A logical picture of facts is a thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
This sort of thing has got to be stopped. Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A French politician once wrote that it was a peculiarity of the French language that in it words occur in the order in which one thinks them.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must plow through the whole 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
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
The depressed man lives in a depressed world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
You could attach prices to thoughts. Some cost a lot, some a little. And how does one pay for thoughts? The answer, I think, is: with courage.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A picture is a model of reality.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is an hypothesis that the sun will rise tomorrow: and this means that we do not know whether it will rise.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We could present spatially an atomic fact which contradicted the laws of physics, but not one which contradicted the laws of geometry.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The philosopher strives to find the liberating word, that is, the word that finally permits us to grasp what up to now has intangibly weighed down upon our consciousness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
