More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Ethics and aesthetics are one.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The form is the possibility of the structure.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Genius is what makes us forget the master's talent.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One must always be prepared to learn something totally new.
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
Golden is a surface colour.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
So we do sometimes think because it has been found to pay.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
That the world is, is the mystical.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A philosopher always finds more grass to feed upon in the valleys of stupidity than on the arid heights of intelligence.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The face is the soul of the body.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy limits the thinkable and therefore the unthinkable.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Our ordinary language has no means for describing a particular shade of color. Thus it is incapable of producing a picture of this color.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
