Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must do away with all explanation, and description alone must take its place.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The limits of my language means the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What signs fail to express, their application shows. What signs slur over, their application says clearly.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It's only by thinking even more crazily than philosophers do that you can solve their problems.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

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
The world is made up of facts, not things.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A proposition is completely logically analyzed if its grammar is made completely clear: no matter what idiom it may be written or expressed in.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Our ordinary language has no means for describing a particular shade of color. Thus it is incapable of producing a picture of this color.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The form is the possibility of the structure.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I act with complete certainty. But this certainty is my own.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
