More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy unravels the knots in our thinking hence its results must be simple, but its activity is as complicated as the knots that it unravels.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If you use a trick in logic, whom can you be tricking other than yourself?
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
Make sure that your religion is a matter between you and God only.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A logical picture of facts is a thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy, as we use the word, is a fight against the fascination which forms of expression exert upon us.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world of those who are happy is different from the world of those who are not.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy limits the thinkable and therefore the unthinkable.
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
It is not humanly possible to gather immediately from it what the logic of language is. Language disguises thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A main cause of philosophical disease-an unbalanced diet: one nourishes one's thinking with only one kind of example.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Ethics and aesthetics are one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The difficulty in philosophy is to say no more than we know.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Words are probes. Some reach very deep, some only to a little depth.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world is made up of facts, not things.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
