Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didnt find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
Logic takes care of itself; all we have to do is to look and see how it does it. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
