More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
What signs fail to express, their application shows. What signs slur over, their application says clearly.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We see, not change of aspect, but change of interpretation.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All philosophy is a 'critique of language' (though not in Mauthner's sense). It was Russell who performed the service of showing that the apparent logical form of a proposition need not be its real one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All I know is what I have words for.
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
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
One is unable to notice something because it is always before one's eyes.
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
Just be indipendent of the external world, so you don't have to fear for what's in it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The real discovery is the one which enables me to stop doing philosophy when I want to. The one that gives philosophy peace, so that it is no longer tormented by questions which bring itself into question.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language is a part of our organism and no less complicated than it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
How small a thought it takes to fill a life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The human body is the best picture of the human soul.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am showing my pupils details of an immense landscape which they cannot possibly know their way around.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Our ordinary language has no means for describing a particular shade of color. Thus it is incapable of producing a picture of this color.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We are asleep. Our Life is a dream. But we wake up sometimes, just enough to know that we are dreaming.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am sitting with a philosopher in the garden he says again and again 'I know that that’s a tree', pointing to a tree that is near us. Someone else arrives and hears this, and I tell him: 'This fellow isn’t insane. We are only doing philosophy.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
