Additional quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

No pain can be greater than the pain of one person. [...] In other words, no suffering can be greater than that of one human being. [...} The whole planet cannot suffer more than a lone soul.

حينما نفكر في مستقبل العالم، فنحن نعني الغاية التي سيصلها إذا ماواصل السير في الإتجاه الذي نراه يسير فيه الأن، ولا يخطر لنا أن مساره ليس خطا مستفيما، بل هو منحنى، يغير على الدوام من اتجاهه.

The meaning of a word is what an explanation of its meaning explains.” That is, if you want to understand the use of the word “meaning”, look for what one calls “an explanation of meaning”.
