More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
If a person tells me he has been to the worst places I have no reason to judge him but if he tells me it was his superior wisdom that enabled him to go there, then I know he is a fraud.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If in life we are surrounded by death, so too in the health of our intellect by madness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Not how the world is, but that it is, is the mystery.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
You can't think decently if you're not willing to hurt yourself
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Aim at being loved without being admired.
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
A religious symbol does not rest on any opinion. And error belongs only with opinion. One would like to say: This is what took place here laugh, if you can.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
At the end of reasons comes persuasion.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The limits of my language means the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Because our goals are not lofty but illusory, our problems are not difficult, but nonsensical.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Our civilization is characterized by the word progress. Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Burning in effigy. Kissing the picture of one's beloved... it aims at nothing at all we just behave this way and then we feel satisfied.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All philosophy is a 'critique of language' (though not in Mauthner's sense). It was Russell who performed the service of showing that the apparent logical form of a proposition need not be its real one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If you use a trick in logic, whom can you be tricking other than yourself?
Ludwig Wittgenstein
To believe in God is to see that life has a meaning.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
