 Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)

"If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done."

"Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself."

"I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves."

"Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn't find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them."

"If a lion could talk, we could not understand him."
