Quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.

I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.

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

The world of the happy is quite different from that of the unhappy.

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

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.
