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

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

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

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

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

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

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

Philosophy is like trying to ...

Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

A teacher who can show good, ...

A teacher who can show good, or indeed astounding results while he is teaching, is still not on that account a good teacher, for it may be that, while his pupils are under his immediate influence, he raises them to a level which is not natural to them, without developing their own capacities for work at this level, so that they immediately decline again once the teacher leaves the schoolroom.

Only describe, don't explain.

It's impossible for me to say one word about all that music has meant to me in my life. How, then, can I hope to be understood?

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

When we think about the future of the world, we always have in mind its being where it would be if it continued to move as we see it moving now. We do not realize that it moves not in a straight line and that its direction changes constantly.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The classifications made by philosophers and psychologists are like trying to classify clouds by their shape.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

My aim is: to teach you to pass from a piece of disguised nonsense to something that is patent nonsense.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

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

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The real question of life after death isn't whether or not it exists, but even if it does what problem this really solves.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.

Ludwig Wittgenstein 307 quotes

What do I know about God and ...

What do I know about God and the purpose of life? I know that this world exists. That I am placed in it like my eye in its visual field. That something about it is problematic, which we call its meaning. This meaning does not lie in it but outside of it. That life is the world. That my will penetrates the world. That my will is good or evil. Therefore that good and evil are somehow connected with the meaning of the world.The meaning of life, i.e. the meaning of the world, we can call God. And connect with this the comparison of God to a father.

We are asleep. Our Life is a dream. But we wake up sometimes, just enough to know that we are dreaming.

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.
