Ludwig Wittgenstein

A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring.

Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.

A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion.

I don't like to get in front of people.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'

I've been bitten by a python. Not a very big one. I was being silly, saying: 'Oh, it's not poisonous...' Then, wallop! But you have fear around animals.
