Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus L Quotes

A collection of quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus L.

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was an Austrian-British philosopher who is recognized as one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His landmark work, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921), laid the foundation for the philosophy of language and logic.
