More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
One is unable to notice something because it is always before one's eyes.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Because our goals are not lofty but illusory, our problems are not difficult, but nonsensical.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Logic pervades the world the limits of the world are also the limits of logic.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
How small a thought it takes to fill a life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If in life we are surrounded by death, so too in the health of our intellect by madness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them--as steps--to climb up beyond them. (He must, so to speak, throw away the ladder after he has climbed up it.) He must transcend these propositions, and then he will see the whole world aright.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Everything that can be thought at all can be thought clearly. Everything that can be said can be said clearly. Ludwig Wittgenstein
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
A man's thinking goes on within his consciousness in a seclusion in comparison with which any physical seclusion is an exhibition to public view.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Concerning that which cannot be talked about, we should not say anything.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy, as we use the word, is a fight against the fascination which forms of expression exert upon us.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If suicide is allowed then everything is allowed. If anything is not allowed then suicide is not allowed. This throws a light on the nature of ethics, for suicide is, so to speak, the elementary sin. And when one investigates it it is like investigating mercury vapour in order to comprehend the nature of vapours.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A main cause of philosophical disease-an unbalanced diet: one nourishes one's thinking with only one kind of example.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world of those who are happy is different from the world of those who are not.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Mathematics is a logical method. . . . Mathematical propositions express no thoughts. In life it is never a mathematical proposition which we need, but we use mathematical propositions only in order to infer from propositions which do not belong to mathematics to others which equally do not belong to mathematics.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Transparency painted in a picture produces its effect in a different way than opaqueness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
And to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All mathematics is tautology.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
