More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

"There is a truth in Schopenhauer’s view that philosophy is an organism, and that a book on philosophy, with a beginning and end, is a sort of contradiction. ... In philosophy matters are not simple enough for us to say ‘Let’s get a rough idea’, for we do not know the country except by knowing the connections between the roads."
"An honest religious thinker is like a tightrope walker. He almost looks as though he were walking on nothing but air. His support is the slenderest imaginable. And yet it really is possible to walk on it."
"A confession has to be part of your new life."
"I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves."
"Don't think, but look! (PI 66)"
