Ludwig Wittgenstein
I act with complete certainty. But this certainty is my own.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world is made up of facts, not things.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Black seems to make a colour cloudy, but darkness doesn't. A ruby could thus keep getting darker without ever becoming cloudy but if it became blackish red, it would become cloudy.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We find certains things about seeing puzzling, because we do not find the whole business of seeing puzzling enough.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
