A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring.
Ludwig WittgensteinIf anyone is unwilling to descend into himself, because this is too painful, he will remain superficial in his writing. . . If I perform to myself, then itโs this that the style expresses. And then the style cannot be my own. If you are unwilling to know what you are, your writing is a form of deceit.
Ludwig WittgensteinThat which cannot be said must not be said. That which cannot be said, one must be silent thereof.
Ludwig WittgensteinThe Christian religion is only for one who needs infinite help, therefore only for one who feels an infinite need. The whole planet cannot be in greater anguish than a single soul. The Christian faith - as I view it - is the refuge in this ultimate anguish. To whom it is given in this anguish to open his heart, instead of contracting it, accepts the means of salvation in his heart.
