More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
In order to draw a limit to thinking, we should have to think both sides of this limit.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don't think, but look! (PI 66)
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Where does our investigation get its importance from, since it seems only to destroy everything interesting, that is, all that is great and important? (As it were all the buildings, leaving behind only bits of stone and rubble.) What we are destroying is nothing but houses of cards and we are clearing up the ground of language on which they stand.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

The arrow points only in the application that a living being makes of it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If, for example, you were to think more deeply about death, then it would be truly strange if, in so doing, you did not encounter new images.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A picture whose pictorial form is logical form is called a logical picture.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We must do away with all explanation, and description alone must take its place.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Aim at being loved without being admired.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A picture is a model of reality.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is one of the chief skills of the philosopher not to occupy himself with questions which do not concern him.
