Ludwig Wittgenstein
There can never be surprises in logic.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language disguises the thought so that from the external form of the clothes one cannot infer the form of the thought they clothe, because the external form of the clothes is constructed with quite another object than to let the form of the body be recognized.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Just be indipendent of the external world, so you don't have to fear for what's in it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The depressed man lives in a depressed world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
