Ludwig Wittgenstein
The limits of my language means the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I'm doing philosophy like an old woman, first I'm looking for my pencil, then I'm looking for my glasses, then I'm looking for my pencil again.

So we do sometimes think because it has been found to pay.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
