The Wittgenstein Foundation in Skjolden

"I do believe that it was the right thing for me to come here, thank God. I can't imagine that I could have worked anywhere as I do here. It's the quiet and, perhaps, the wonderful scenery; I mean, its quiet seriousness."


Letter from Wittgenstein to Moore, October 1936
