More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
If in life we are surrounded by death, so too in the health of our intellect by madness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Make sure that your religion is a matter between you and God only.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Think of words as instruments characterized by their use, and then think of the use of a hammer, the use of a chisel, the use of a square, of a glue pot, and of the glue.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Ethics and aesthetics are one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must do away with all explanation, and description alone must take its place.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is possible--indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic--to give in advance a description of all 'true' logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world divides into facts.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
There is not a philosophical method, though there are indeed methods, like different therapies.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A philosopher always finds more grass to feed upon in the valleys of stupidity than on the arid heights of intelligence.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If you tried to doubt everything you would not get as far as doubting anything. The game of doubting itself presupposes certainty.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If you use a trick in logic, whom can you be tricking other than yourself?
Ludwig Wittgenstein
To believe in a God means to understand the question about the meaning of life. To believe in a God means to see that the facts of the world are not the end of the matter. To believe in God means to see that life has a meaning.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
There is such a thing as the impression of luminosity.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Black seems to make a colour cloudy, but darkness doesn't. A ruby could thus keep getting darker without ever becoming cloudy but if it became blackish red, it would become cloudy.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Believers who have formulated such proofs [for God's existence] ... would never have come to believe as a result of such proofs
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Dark' and 'blackish' are not the same concept.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy limits the thinkable and therefore the unthinkable.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We see, not change of aspect, but change of interpretation.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't for heaven's sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
