More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is more important for teaching us to understand the concepts we have than to construct fictitious ones.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A logical picture of facts is a thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Concerning that which cannot be talked about, we should not say anything.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What signs fail to express, their application shows. What signs slur over, their application says clearly.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We could present spatially an atomic fact which contradicted the laws of physics, but not one which contradicted the laws of geometry.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
People are deeply imbedded in philosophical, i.e., grammatical confusions. And to free them presupposes pulling them out of the immensely manifold connections they are caught up in.
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
The face is the soul of the body.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world of the happy is quite different from that of the unhappy.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must do away with all explanation, and description alone must take its place.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Mathematics is a logical method. . . . Mathematical propositions express no thoughts. In life it is never a mathematical proposition which we need, but we use mathematical propositions only in order to infer from propositions which do not belong to mathematics to others which equally do not belong to mathematics.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We find certains things about seeing puzzling, because we do not find the whole business of seeing puzzling enough.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Because our goals are not lofty but illusory, our problems are not difficult, but nonsensical.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language is a part of our organism and no less complicated than it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
For a large class of cases - though not for all - in which we employ the word meaning it can be explained thus: the meaning of a word is its use in the language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Make sure that your religion is a matter between you and God only.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The form is the possibility of the structure.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A confession has to be part of your new life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
