Yes! I am sure he said that we should all move to English country manors where parties of the most shocking decadence are a constant bill of fare, and continental breakfasts are served in surroundings of the utmost beauty and peace, where we will discuss philosophy and poetry to our hearts’ delight, listening to exquisite music and the patter of fountains, until the evening’s revels begin, and these will be of a most scandalous nature.

Wittgenstein came from the richest family in Austria. Shortly after he inherited his fortune he gave away most of it to the poets Rainer Maria Rilke and Georg Trakl. He then worked as a gardener in a monastery. Later he traded all the remaining family wealth to the Nazis to gain the release of his sister from almost certain death had she remained in Austria during WWII. Money meant less than nothing to him.

"After World War I Ludwig Wittgenstein gave up philosophy and taught in elementary schools in Lower Austria (1920-26). He gave away his large inheritance, particularly to the poets Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) and Georg Trakl (1887 - 1914). Then for a time he took up a job as a monastery gardener's assistant."
