When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.
Ludwig WittgensteinThere are two godheads: the world and my independent I. I am either happy or unhappy, that is all. It can be said: good or evil do not exist. A man who is happy must have no fear. Not even in the face of death. Only a man who lives not in time but in the present is happy.

The riddle does not exist. If a question can be put at all, then it can also be answered.
Ludwig WittgensteinThe truly apocalyptic view of the world is that things do not repeat themselves. It isn’t absurd, e.g., to believe that the age of science and technology is the beginning of the end for humanity; that the idea of great progress is delusion, along with the idea that the truth will ultimately be known; that there is nothing good or desirable about scientific knowledge and that mankind, in seeking it, is falling into a trap. It is by no means obvious that this is not how things are.

We are asleep. Our Life is a dream. But we wake up sometimes, just enough to know that we are dreaming.
Ludwig WittgensteinWhat 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.
I am not interested in constructing a building, so much as in having a perspicuous view of the foundations of possible buildings.
Ludwig WittgensteinOnly let's cut out the transcendental twaddle when the whole thing is as plain as a sock on the jaw.
Ludwig WittgensteinThe aspects of things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity. (One is unable to notice something because it is always before one’s eyes.) The real foundations of his enquiry do not strike a man at all
Ludwig Wittgenstein[Philosophy] must set limits to what can be thought; and, in doing so, to what cannot be thought. It must set limits to what cannot be thought by working outwards through what can be thought.
