More quotes by 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
Suppose we think while we talk or write--I mean, as we normally do--we shall not in general say that we think quicker than we talk, but the thought seems not to be separate from the expression.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy just puts everything before us, and neither explains nor deduces anything.-Since everything lies open to view there is nothing to explain
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.
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
For remember that in general we don't use language according to strict rules-- it hasn't been taught to us by means of strict rules, either. We, in our discussions on the other hand, constantly compare language with a calculus preceding to exact rules.
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
Genius is what makes us forget the master's talent.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
And to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What is thinkable is also possible.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One often makes a remark and only later sees how true it is.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't think, but look! (PI 66)
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All I know is what I have words for.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world of those who are happy is different from the world of those who are not.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must plow through the whole of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
An entire mythology is stored within our language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
There is not a philosophical method, though there are indeed methods, like different therapies.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The totality of facts determines both what is the case, and also all that is not the case.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
