Ludwig Wittgenstein
Believers who have formulated such proofs [for God's existence] ... would never have come to believe as a result of such proofs
Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is not humanly possible to gather immediately from it what the logic of language is. Language disguises thought.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Everything that can be said, can be said clearly.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.
