Additional quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein

La soluzione del problema che tu vedi nella vita è un modo di vivere che fa scomparire ciò che rappresenta un problema.
Se la vita è problematica è segno che la tua vita non si adatta alla forma della vita. Devi quindi cambiare la tua vita; quando si adatterà alla forma, allora scomparirà ciò che è problematico.
