-Are you philospher?
-Yes, I am.
-Are you happy?
-......(slience)
-You know. You really shoul give it up.
Get out while you still can.
That's what Wittgenstein tells Jonny at their fist meet.
-I'd quite like to have composed a philosphical work which consisted entirelly of jokes.
-Why didn't you?
-Sadly, I didn't have that sense of humour.
That's what Wittgenstein say when extremely close to death.
I love queers, especially handsome queers, like Wittgenstein. It's really pityful that the actor who plays him in the film isn't, but his lover, Johnny is. It seems that the image of philopher is always so crazy, miserable, misunderstandable. Well, maybe it's also the deep image of Derek Jarman himself. Queers are prodigies, who can't be understood by the world.
If people did not sometimes do silly things,nothing intelligent would ever get done.
In art, it is hard to say anything as good as saying nothing.
One must understand, or die..
When two principles meet and cannot be reconciled one another,then each calls the other fool or heresy.
We must improve ourselves. That's all we can do to better the world.
To imagine a language is to imagine a form of life.
We imagine the meaning of what you say as something queer, mysterious, hidden from view.But nothing is hidden. Everything is opened up to view.
Philosophy hunts for the essence of meaning.But There Is No Such Thing !
It is the philosophers who muddy the water.
When you want to know the meaning of words, don't look at the side of yourself.
Philosophy is just a byproduct of misunderstanding language.
語言的極限就是世界的極限，總是不斷在語言方面碰壁，太陽圍繞著地球轉怎么能被看見呢，疼痛怎么能被感受到了呢？
語言并不是什么圖像，是工具，沒有單一的世界寫照，有不同的語言游戲，也有不同的生活方式，相互抵抗，如hi,hello，等等這些詞沒有指代，手提包有指代，屬于不同的語言游戲
語言只是表達了表象，遮蔽了本質，所以把清澈的水弄濁的，就是哲學家，哲學不過是語言誤解所產生的副產品而已，哲學的本質就是探究意義，可是，沒這回事，維特出現了精神幻滅的危機
凡事不可言說的，都保持沉默
Considered by some to be the greatest philosopher of the 20th century, Ludwig Wittgenstein played a central, if controversial, role in 20th-century analytic philosophy. He continues to influence current philosophical thought in topics as diverse as logic and language, perception and intention, ethics and religion, aesthetics and culture. Originally, there were two commonly recognized stages of Wittgenstein's thought—the early and the later—both of which were taken to be pivotal in their respective periods. In more recent scholarship, this division has been questioned: some interpreters have claimed a unity between all stages of his thought, while others talk of a more nuanced division, adding stages such as the middle Wittgenstein and the third Wittgenstein. Still, it is commonly acknowledged that the early Wittgenstein is epitomized in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. By showin
就像維特根斯坦自己說的：“電影就像一個沖淋浴，把講義沖走。”他喜歡看電影，討厭研討會。
我也可以說：“看一部歌劇形式的電影《維特根斯坦》比看他的著作有趣的多！”電影通常比較直觀易懂。（另有一例是關于經濟學家納什的電影——《美麗心靈》，電影充滿懸疑，帥哥美女，還很溫情，但他博弈論應該不是那么好理解的。）
據說維特根斯坦是哲學界的愛因斯坦，沒有幾個人能理解他的思想，他卻總被許多人津津樂道。他出生富裕，是羅素的學生，在戰壕里寫哲學著作，他是哲學家，同時也是工程師，他還是個gay。
他有個“洛克斯菲爾德”般富裕的家庭，爸爸是歐洲鋼鐵工業的巨頭，媽媽是銀行家的女兒。他的家教歷史老師與希特勒是同一位。也許是某些“家族基因”在作怪（我猜的），他的兩個同性戀哥哥都死于自殺，還有一個哥哥自愿參加戰爭失去了一只右手，成了獨臂鋼琴家，寫過一本《左手鋼琴協奏曲》。
據說維特根斯坦曾問一位老師，“我笨嗎？不笨可以學哲學，笨則可以去當飛行員。”他師從羅素在劍橋學哲學，但他討厭劍橋，稱其為“吵吵鬧鬧的妓院”
曾經有個年輕人，他想把世界簡化到純粹的邏輯里。因為他非常聰明，也確實做到了。他在完成時，回首看著、欣賞著。一個非常美麗，摒除了不完美和不確定的新世界，象閃耀的冰面無邊無際的延伸到天邊。那個聰明的年輕人環視他所創造的世界，決定探索它。可是當他向前邁出第一步，立即摔倒了。你看，他忘了摩擦力。冰面平坦光滑，潔凈無瑕，但是人無法在上面行走。聰明的年輕人坐在那里不禁流下心碎的眼淚。
當他成長為一個智慧的老人時，他開始理解粗糙和混沌并不是缺陷，世界就是因此而運轉。他想奔跑舞蹈，頓時語言失去光澤，模糊不清；世界支離破碎，散落一地。智慧的老人知道這就是事物的本來面目。但在他的內心依然懷念著那純凈的世界，那里的一切閃耀著純粹的光芒。雖然他甚至已經日漸喜歡那坑坑洼洼的地面，但無法讓自己在那里安頓下來。現在他在地面和冰面之間徘徊，哪里都不是他的歸宿。這是他所有悲痛的來由。
