More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Genius is what makes us forget the master's talent.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
To believe in God is to see that life has a meaning.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
For a large class of cases - though not for all - in which we employ the word meaning it can be explained thus: the meaning of a word is its use in the language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't for heaven's sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Ethics and aesthetics are one.
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
It's only by thinking even more crazily than philosophers do that you can solve their problems.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy limits the thinkable and therefore the unthinkable.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What signs fail to express, their application shows. What signs slur over, their application says clearly.
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
Logic pervades the world the limits of the world are also the limits of logic.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A logical picture of facts is a thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The only life that is happy is the life that can renounce the amenities of the world. To it the amenities of the world are so many graces of fate.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open.
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
The aspects of a thing that are most important to us are hidden to us because of their simplicity and familiarity.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
