“A confession has to be part of your new life.”

If a lion could speak, we could not understand him.

The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.

A logical picture of facts is a thought.

Only describe, don’t explain.

I want to say- We use judgments as principles of judgement.

The meaning of a word is its use in the language.

Anything that can be said can be said clearly.

Genius is talent exercised with courage.

You can’t think decently if you’re not willing to hurt yourself.

Understand or die.

Hell isn’t other people. Hell is yourself.

Language disguises thought.

Our life is endless in the way that our visual field is without limit.

Just improve yourself; that is the only thing you can do to better the world.

That of which we cannot speak, we must pass over in silence.

Religion as madness is a madness springing from irreligiousness.

Hereafter we all have to be redeemed. The world is pulling with a thousand strings. We sin because of indifference and negligence and heap new guilt on the old original one. Our life is a chain of sin and expiation controlled by a destiny that can not be understood.

The spiritual life is first of all a life. It is not merely something to be known and studied, it is to be lived.

While there is life there is hope. I beg to assert…that as long as a man’s heart beats, as long as a man’s flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.

You’re not just going out there, maybe sacrificing your own life. There’s also sacrifices still going on at home. You can serve in the military and have a good marriage, but you just need to be aware of it so you can take those steps to take care of it.

Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile, I caught hell for.

Whatever you give out in life is what you receive back in life.

But real life doesn’t travel in a perfect straight line; it doesn’t necessarily have that ‘all lived happily ever after’ bit. You have to work on where you’re going.

I wanted to see what no one had yet observed, even if I had to pay for this curiosity with my life.
