More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
To think that you are not following a rule is to follow a rule.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
At the end of reasons comes persuasion.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Make sure that your religion is a matter between you and God only.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The depressed man lives in a depressed world.
