Ludwig Wittgenstein
A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
The limits of my language means the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The form is the possibility of the structure.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
At the end of reasons comes persuasion.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.
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
