More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
It's only by thinking even more crazily than philosophers do that you can solve their problems.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must plow through the whole of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Logic pervades the world the limits of the world are also the limits of logic.
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
Everything that can be thought at all can be thought clearly. Everything that can be said can be said clearly. Ludwig Wittgenstein
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world of the happy is quite different from that of the unhappy.
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
In the world everything is as it is and happens as it does happen. In it, there is no value, - and if there were, it would be of no value.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is necessary to be given the prop that all elementary props are given. This is not necessary because it is even impossible. There is no such prop! That all elementary props are given is SHOWN by there being none having an elementary sense which is not given.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Aim at being loved without being admired.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I act with complete certainty. But this certainty is my own.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Frazer is much more savage than most of his savages, for they are not as far removed from the understanding of spiritual matter as a twentieth-century Englishman. His explanations of primitive practices are much cruder than the meaning of these practices themselves.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am showing my pupils details of an immense landscape which they cannot possibly know their way around.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language is a part of our organism and no less complicated than it.
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
You can't think decently if you're not willing to hurt yourself
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If in life we are surrounded by death, so too in the health of our intellect by madness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
