Ludwig Wittgenstein
Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
The philosopher is not a citizen of any community of ideas, that is what makes him a philosopher.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Elementary propositions consist of names.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Imagine someone pointing to a place in the iris of a Rembrandt eye and saying, 'The walls of my room should be painted this color.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
I'm doing philosophy like an old woman, first I'm looking for my pencil, then I'm looking for my glasses, then I'm looking for my pencil again.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
To believe in a God means to understand the question about the meaning of life. To believe in a God means to see that the facts of the world are not the end of the matter. To believe in God means to see that life has a meaning.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
