" "467. I am sitting with a philosopher in the garden; he says again and again "I know that that's a tree", pointing to a tree that is near us. Someone else arrives and hears this, and I tell them: "This fellow isn't insane. We are only doing philosophy."

Additional quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Telling someone something that he does not understand is pointless, even if you add that he will not understand it. (That so often happens with someone you love.) If you have a room which you do not want certain people to get into, put a lock on it for which they do not have the key. But there is no point in talking to them about it, unless of course you want them to admire the room from the outside!
The honourable thing to do is to put a lock on the door which will be noticed only by those who can open it, not by the rest.
სამყაროს საზრისი მის გარეთ უნდა იყოს. სამყაროში ყველაფერი ისეა, როგორც არის და ისე ხდება, როგორც ხდება. მასში (სამყაროში) ღირებულება არაფერია და რომ ყოფილიყო, მას ღირებულება არ ექნებოდა [...]როგორც სიკვდილის დროს, სამყარო კი არ იცვლება, არამედ წყვეტს არსებობას. სიკვდილი არ არის სიცოცხლის მოვლენა, სიკვდილს არ განვიცდით [...] ღმერთი არ ცხადდება სამყაროში.
