More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
To think that you are not following a rule is to follow a rule.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All I know is what I have words for.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A confession has to be part of your new life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is necessary to be given the prop that all elementary props are given. This is not necessary because it is even impossible. There is no such prop! That all elementary props are given is SHOWN by there being none having an elementary sense which is not given.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A French politician once wrote that it was a peculiarity of the French language that in it words occur in the order in which one thinks them.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What is thinkable is also possible.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I did not get my picture of the world by satisfying myself of its correctness nor do I have it because I am satisfied of its correctness. No: it is the inherited background against which I distinguish between true and false.
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
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
This sort of thing has got to be stopped. Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
In the world everything is as it is and happens as it does happen. In it, there is no value, - and if there were, it would be of no value.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
In order to be able to set a limit to thought, we should have to find both sides of the limit thinkable (i.e. we should have to be able to think what cannot be thought).
Ludwig Wittgenstein
There is no criterion by which to recognize what is a color, except that it is one of our colors.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
There is such a thing as the impression of luminosity.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't ask what it means, but rather how it is used.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A man's thinking goes on within his consciousness in a seclusion in comparison with which any physical seclusion is an exhibition to public view.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.
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
At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Always get rid of theory private object in this way: assume that it constantly changes, but that you do not notice the change because your memory constantly deceives you.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
