More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.
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
All mathematics is tautology.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Words are probes. Some reach very deep, some only to a little depth.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy limits the thinkable and therefore the unthinkable.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push it.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
What can be shown, cannot be said.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One must always be prepared to learn something totally new.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
I am showing my pupils details of an immense landscape which they cannot possibly know their way around.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
The aspects of a thing that are most important to us are hidden to us because of their simplicity and familiarity.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
The totality of facts determines both what is the case, and also all that is not the case.
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
We must plow through the whole of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
This is how philosophers should salute each other: ‘Take your time.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Tell them I've had a wonderful life.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
