More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.
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
To think that you are not following a rule is to follow a rule.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We see, not change of aspect, but change of interpretation.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The truth can be spoken only by someone who is already at home in it not by someone who still lives in untruthfulness, and does no more than reach out towards it from within untruthfulness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One age misunderstands another and a petty age misunderstands all the others in its own ugly way.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What is thinkable is also possible.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What should we gain by a definition, as it can only lead us to other undefined terms?
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Words are probes. Some reach very deep, some only to a little depth.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Elementary propositions consist of names.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy aims at the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy is not a body of doctrine but an activity. A philosophical work consists essentially of elucidations.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world of those who are happy is different from the world of those who are not.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Aim at being loved without being admired.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Just be indipendent of the external world, so you don't have to fear for what's in it.
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
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
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
So we do sometimes think because it has been found to pay.
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
