More quotes by Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones.
Bertrand Russell
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
Bertrand Russell
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
That Plato's Republic should have been admired, on its political side, by decent people, is perhaps the most astonishing example of literary snobbery in all history.
Bertrand Russell
The most essential characteristic of scientific technique is that it proceeds from experiment, not from tradition.
Bertrand Russell
We may often do as we please - but we cannot please as we please.
Bertrand Russell
One of the most interesting and harmful delusions to which men and nations can be subjected is that of imagining themselves special instruments of the Divine Will.
Bertrand Russell
There's a Bible on that shelf there. But I keep it next to Voltaire - poison and antidote.
Bertrand Russell
