This turn's quotation comes from Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, a short book with an arrogant title that Wittgenstein himself neither gave it nor liked.
5.6 The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.Is our world limited by our language?
5.62 ...The world is my world: this is manifest in the fact that the limits of language (of that language which alone I understand) mean the limits of my world.
So, bullshit or not? As usual, feel free to leave anything from a single word to a dissertation.
