More quotes by Bertrand Russell
In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.
Bertrand Russell
Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.
Bertrand Russell
I did not know I loved you until I heard myself telling so, for one instance I thought, Good God, what have I said? and then I knew it was true.
Bertrand Russell
We love our habits more than our income, often more than our life.
Bertrand Russell
Fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves.
Bertrand Russell
We must be sceptical even of our scepticism.
Bertrand Russell
A truer image of the world, I think, is obtained by picturing things as entering into the stream of time from an eternal world outside, than from a view which regards time as the devouring tyrant of all that is.
Bertrand Russell
There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less.
Bertrand Russell
Is the set of all sets which are not members of themselves a member of itself?
Bertrand Russell
A fanatical belief in democracy makes democratic institutions impossible.
Bertrand Russell
Televison allows thousands of people to laugh at the same joke and still remain alone.
Bertrand Russell
We know very little, and yet it is astonishing that we know so much, and still more astonishing that so little knowledge can give us so much power.
Bertrand Russell
A hallucination is a fact, not an error what is erroneous is a judgment based upon it.
Bertrand Russell
My sad conviction is that people can only agree about what they're not really interested in.
Bertrand Russell
It is obviously possible that what we call waking life may only be an unusual and persistent nightmare.
Bertrand Russell
To the young I should offer two maxims: Don't accept superficial solutions of difficult problems. It is better to do a little good than much harm. I should not offer anything more specific every young person should decide on his or her own credo.
Bertrand Russell
To think I have spent my life on absolute muck.
Bertrand Russell
Respectability, regularity, and routine - the whole cast-iron discipline of a modern industrial society - have atrophied the artistic impulse, and imprisoned love so that it can no longer be generous and free and creative, but must be either stuffy or furtive.
Bertrand Russell
For some reason which I have failed to understand, many people like the system [scientific totalitarianism] when it is Russian but disliked the very same system when it was German. I am compelled to think that this is due to the power of labels these people like whatever is labelled ‘Left’ without examining whether the label has any justification.
Bertrand Russell
A generation educated in fearless freedom will have wider and bolder hopes than are possible to us
Bertrand Russell
