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

More quotes by 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
Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
All I know is what I have words for.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language is a part of our organism and no less complicated than it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
To believe in a God means to understand the question about the meaning of life. To believe in a God means to see that the facts of the world are not the end of the matter. To believe in God means to see that life has a meaning.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy, as we use the word, is a fight against the fascination which forms of expression exert upon us.
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
All mathematics is tautology.
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 my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A proposition is completely logically analyzed if its grammar is made completely clear: no matter what idiom it may be written or expressed in.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We see, not change of aspect, but change of interpretation.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The philosopher is not a citizen of any community of ideas, that is what makes him a philosopher.
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
Mathematics is a logical method. . . . Mathematical propositions express no thoughts. In life it is never a mathematical proposition which we need, but we use mathematical propositions only in order to infer from propositions which do not belong to mathematics to others which equally do not belong to mathematics.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The world divides into facts.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Just be indipendent of the external world, so you don't have to fear for what's in it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
