More quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

"The real question of life after death isn't whether or not it exists, but even if it does what problem this really solves."
"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."
"The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language."
"We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be answered, the problems of life have still not been touched at all."
"But some of the greatest achievements in philosophy could only be compared with taking up some books which seemed to belong together, and putting them on different shelves; nothing more being final about their positions than that they no longer lie side by side. The onlooker who doesn’t know the difficulty of the task might well think in such a case that nothing at all had been achieved."
