Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language disguises the thought so that from the external form of the clothes one cannot infer the form of the thought they clothe, because the external form of the clothes is constructed with quite another object than to let the form of the body be recognized.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The philosopher is not a citizen of any community of ideas, that is what makes him a philosopher.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The face is the soul of the body.
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.
