Additional quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

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.
