More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't think, but look! (PI 66)
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Transparency painted in a picture produces its effect in a different way than opaqueness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
An entire mythology is stored within our language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Genius is what makes us forget the master's talent.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One cannot guess how a word functions. One has to look at its use and learn from that. But the difficulty is to remove the prejudice which stands in the way of doing this. It is not a stupid prejudice.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The form is the possibility of the structure.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Our civilization is characterized by the word progress. Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Is it even always an advantage to replace an indistinct picture by a sharp one? Isn't the indistinct one often what we need?
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A good guide will take you through the more important streets more often than he takes you down side streets a bad guide will do the opposite. In philosophy I'm a rather bad guide.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
How small a thought it takes to fill a life.
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 totality of facts determines both what is the case, and also all that is not the case.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Talent is a spring from which fresh water always flows.- But this spring is worthless if no good use is made of it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What signs fail to express, their application shows. What signs slur over, their application says clearly.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One often makes a remark and only later sees how true it is.
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
To believe in God is to see that life has a meaning.
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
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
