More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Just be indipendent of the external world, so you don't have to fear for what's in it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must do away with all explanation, and description alone must take its place.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language disguises thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy limits the thinkable and therefore the unthinkable.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
My day passes between logic, whistling, going for walks, and being depressed. I wish to God that I were more intelligent and everything would finally become clear to me - or else that I needn't live much longer.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A picture is a model of reality.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The face is the soul of the body.
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
A good guide will take you through the more important streets more often than he takes you down side streets a bad guide will do the opposite. In philosophy I'm a rather bad guide.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language is a part of our organism and no less complicated than it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Genius is talent in which character makes itself heard.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
People are deeply imbedded in philosophical, i.e., grammatical confusions. And to free them presupposes pulling them out of the immensely manifold connections they are caught up in.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Suppose someone follows the series 1,3,5,7, .., and in writing the series 2x+1 and he asked himself But am I always doing the same thing, or something different every time? If from one day to the next someone promises: Tomorrow I will give up smoking, does he say the same thing every day, or every day something different?
Ludwig Wittgenstein
To think that you are not following a rule is to follow a rule.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
