More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
What is thinkable is also possible.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
So we do sometimes think because it has been found to pay.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Only let's cut out the transcendental twaddle when the whole thing is as plain as a sock on the jaw.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
For life in the present there is no death. Death is not an event in life. It is not a fact in the world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday
Ludwig Wittgenstein
An entire mythology is stored within our language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A religious symbol does not rest on any opinion. And error belongs only with opinion. One would like to say: This is what took place here laugh, if you can.
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
If a person tells me he has been to the worst places I have no reason to judge him but if he tells me it was his superior wisdom that enabled him to go there, then I know he is a fraud.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A picture whose pictorial form is logical form is called a logical picture.
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
Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't for heaven's sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The object of philosophy is the logical clarification of thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The face is the soul of the body.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is not humanly possible to gather immediately from it what the logic of language is. Language disguises thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't ask what it means, but rather how it is used.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
