More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Only let's cut out the transcendental twaddle when the whole thing is as plain as a sock on the jaw.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
A picture is a model of reality.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The limits of my language means the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am showing my pupils details of an immense landscape which they cannot possibly know their way around.

Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The face is the soul of the body.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
