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.
From Ludwig Wittgenstein
Like everything metaphysical the harmony between thought and reality is to be found in the grammar of the language.
The world is independent of my will.
A philosophical problem has the form: I don't know my way about.
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.
When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of.
I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.
Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.
Logic takes care of itself; all we have to do is to look and see how it does it.
The world is the totality of facts, not of things.
