Ludwig Wittgenstein:
I used to believe that language gave us a picture of the world. But it can't give us a picture of how it does that. That would be like trying to see yourself seeing something. How language does that is beyond expression. That is the mystery. That was all wrong. Language isn't a picture at all.
Bertrand Russell:
What is it, then?
Ludwig Wittgenstein:
It's... a tool. An instrument. There isn't just one picture of the world, there are lots of different language games, different forms of life, different ways of doing things with words. They don't all hang together!
Bertrand Russell:
What do you mean?
Ludwig Wittgenstein:
All I mean is the limits of my language are the limits of my world. We keep running up against the walls of our cage.
