More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
So we do sometimes think because it has been found to pay.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world is made up of facts, not things.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
To think that you are not following a rule is to follow a rule.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If you use a trick in logic, whom can you be tricking other than yourself?
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The face is the soul of the body.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If, for example, you were to think more deeply about death, then it would be truly strange if, in so doing, you did not encounter new images.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One is unable to notice something because it is always before one's eyes.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Your questions refer to words so I have to talk about words. You say:: The point isn't the word, but its meaning, and you think of the meaning as a thing of the same kind as the word, though also different from the word. Here the word, there the meaning.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Talent is a spring from which fresh water always flows.- But this spring is worthless if no good use is made of it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
There is not a philosophical method, though there are indeed methods, like different therapies.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language disguises thought.
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
Sometimes, in doing philosophy, one just wants to utter an inarticulate sound.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language disguises the thought so that from the external form of the clothes one cannot infer the form of the thought they clothe, because the external form of the clothes is constructed with quite another object than to let the form of the body be recognized.
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
If you want to go down deep you do not need to travel far indeed, you don't have to leave your most immediate and familiar surroundings.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Burning in effigy. Kissing the picture of one's beloved... it aims at nothing at all we just behave this way and then we feel satisfied.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
You learned the concept 'pain' when you learned language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
