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

This sort of thing has got to be stopped. Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A French politician once wrote that it was a peculiarity of the French language that in it words occur in the order in which one thinks them.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If, for example, you were to think more deeply about death, then it would be truly strange if, in so doing, you did not encounter new images.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.
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
How small a thought it takes to fill a life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
