Ludwig WittgensteinConcerning that which cannot be talked about, we should not say anything.
About This Quote
When it comes to certain topics, we should not speak about them. Unlike the quote “Concerning that which cannot be talked about, we should not say anything”, this one is a little more ambiguous. It seems to suggest that there are things that we shouldn’t talk about, but it doesn’t say why. The best way to interpret this quote is to realize that there are things that we really shouldn’t talk about at all even though they can’t be talked about.
