More quotes by 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
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
Make sure that your religion is a matter between you and God only.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy can be said to consist of three activities: to see the commonsense answer, to get yourself so deeply into the problem that the common sense answer is unbearable, and to get from that situation back to the commonsense answer.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A confession has to be part of your new life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Suppose we think while we talk or write--I mean, as we normally do--we shall not in general say that we think quicker than we talk, but the thought seems not to be separate from the expression.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am showing my pupils details of an immense landscape which they cannot possibly know their way around.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is more important than the formation of fictional concepts, which teach us at last to understand our own.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world divides into facts.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Elementary propositions consist of names.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
You can't think decently if you're not willing to hurt yourself
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The philosopher strives to find the liberating word, that is, the word that finally permits us to grasp what up to now has intangibly weighed down upon our consciousness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If you want to go down deep you do not need to travel far indeed, you don't have to leave your most immediate and familiar surroundings.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When we can't think for ourselves, we can always quote
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Everything that can be said, can be said clearly.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All I know is what I have words for.
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
Genius is what makes us forget the master's talent.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
