You get tragedy where the tree, instead of bending, breaks.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The world is the totality of facts, not of things.

Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn't find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Logic is not a body of doctri...

Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

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.

The limits of my language means the limits of my world.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

It is one of the chief skills of the philosopher not to occupy himself with questions which do not concern him.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed 'Wisdom.' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.'

Logic takes care of itself; all we have to do is to look and see how it does it.

If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done.

A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring.

There are remarks that sow and remarks that reap.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

A man's thinking goes on within his consciousness in a seclusion in comparison with which any physical seclusion is an exhibition to public view.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Logic must look after itself. In a certain sense, we cannot make mistakes in logic.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Death is not an event in life...

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
