Ludwig Wittgenstein
For life in the present there is no death. Death is not an event in life. It is not a fact in the world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is one of the chief skills of the philosopher not to occupy himself with questions which do not concern him.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Our ordinary language has no means for describing a particular shade of color. Thus it is incapable of producing a picture of this color.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language disguises the thought so that from the external form of the clothes one cannot infer the form of the thought they clothe, because the external form of the clothes is constructed with quite another object than to let the form of the body be recognized.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
