   I would suggest Wittgenstein's Tractatus as a popular and very quotable   
   source. On the other hand, Wittgenstein himself admitted years after   
   becoming famous on the basis of this work that it was mistaken. (This   
   had little effect on its popularity.)   
      
   For serious thinking I would suggest Popper's The Open Society and Its   
   Enemies.   
      
   Best of luck!
