More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
One can defend common sense against the attacks of philosophers only by solving their puzzles, i.e., by curing them of the temptation to attack common sense.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Golden is a surface colour.
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
All I know is what I have words for.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Human beings have a physical need to tell themselves when at work: Let's have done with it now, and it's having constantly to go on thinking in the face of this need when philosophizing that makes this work so strenuous.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The form is the possibility of the structure.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Suppose someone were to say: 'Imagine this butterfly exactly as it is, but ugly instead of beautiful'?!
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must plow through the whole of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The limits of my language means the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
A picture whose pictorial form is logical form is called a logical picture.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Religion is, as it were, the calm bottom of the sea at its deepest point, which remains calm however high the waves on the surface may be.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What signs fail to express, their application shows. What signs slur over, their application says clearly.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Everything that can be said, can be said clearly.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If suicide is allowed then everything is allowed. If anything is not allowed then suicide is not allowed. This throws a light on the nature of ethics, for suicide is, so to speak, the elementary sin. And when one investigates it it is like investigating mercury vapour in order to comprehend the nature of vapours.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
