More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.
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
Just be indipendent of the external world, so you don't have to fear for what's in it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
This sort of thing has got to be stopped. Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
You can't be reluctant to give up your lie and still tell the truth.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
People are deeply imbedded in philosophical, i.e., grammatical confusions. And to free them presupposes pulling them out of the immensely manifold connections they are caught up in.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We find certains things about seeing puzzling, because we do not find the whole business of seeing puzzling enough.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy just puts everything before us, and neither explains nor deduces anything.-Since everything lies open to view there is nothing to explain
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The real discovery is the one which enables me to stop doing philosophy when I want to. The one that gives philosophy peace, so that it is no longer tormented by questions which bring itself into question.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world divides into facts.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am showing my pupils details of an immense landscape which they cannot possibly know their way around.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One often makes a remark and only later sees how true it is.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
You could attach prices to thoughts. Some cost a lot, some a little. And how does one pay for thoughts? The answer, I think, is: with courage.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
People often say that aesthetics is a branch of psychology. The idea is that once we are more advanced-all the mysteries of art-will be understood by psychological experiments. Exceedingly stupid at this idea is, this is roughly it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is more important for teaching us to understand the concepts we have than to construct fictitious ones.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
To believe in God is to see that life has a meaning.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
