Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language disguises thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Everything is already there in.... How does it come about that [an] arrow points? Doesn't it seem to carry in it something besides itself? - No, not the dead line on paper only the psychical thing, the meaning, can do that. - That is both true and false. The arrow points only in the application that a living being makes of it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If in life we are surrounded by death, so too in the health of our intellect by madness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
