More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

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
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
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
Everything that can be thought at all can be thought clearly. Everything that can be said can be said clearly. Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
All mathematics is tautology.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
I did not get my picture of the world by satisfying myself of its correctness nor do I have it because I am satisfied of its correctness. No: it is the inherited background against which I distinguish between true and false.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We see, not change of aspect, but change of interpretation.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
And to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Only let's cut out the transcendental twaddle when the whole thing is as plain as a sock on the jaw.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world.
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
At the end of reasons comes persuasion.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It's impossible for me to say one word about all that music has meant to me in my life. How, then, can I hope to be understood?
Ludwig Wittgenstein
