More quotes by Bertrand Russell
All movements go too far.
Bertrand Russell
When we look at a rock what we are seeing is not the rock, but the effect of the rock upon us.
Bertrand Russell
The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.
Bertrand Russell
The fundamental defect of Christian ethics consists in the fact that it labels certain classes of acts 'sins' and others 'virtue' on grounds that have nothing to do with their social consequences.
Bertrand Russell
The reformative effect of punishment is a belief that dies hard, chiefly I think, because it is so satisfying to our sadistic impulses.
Bertrand Russell
One is always a little afraid of love, but above all, one is afraid of pain or causing pain.
Bertrand Russell
[One] must look into hell before one has any right to speak of heaven.
Bertrand Russell
I do not believe that science per se is an adequate source of happiness, nor do I think that my own scientific outlook has contributed very greatly to my own happiness, which I attribute to defecating twice a day with unfailing regularity.
Bertrand Russell
You could take up the line that some of the gnostics took up - a line which I often thought was a very plausible one - that as a matter of fact this world that we know was made by the devil at a moment when God was not looking. There is a good deal to be said for that, and I am not concerned to refute it.
Bertrand Russell
We must be skeptical even of our skepticism.
Bertrand Russell
Televison allows thousands of people to laugh at the same joke and still remain alone.
Bertrand Russell
But I simply can't stand a view limited to this earth, I feel life is so small unless it has windows into other worlds...I like mathematics largely because it is not human.
Bertrand Russell
To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.
Bertrand Russell
Be isolated, be ignored, be attacked, be in doubt, be frightened, but do not be silenced.
Bertrand Russell
Dread of disaster makes everybody act in the very way that increases the disaster.
Bertrand Russell
The most essential characteristic of scientific technique is that it proceeds from experiment, not from tradition.
Bertrand Russell
The satisfaction to be derived from success in a great constructive enterprise is one of the most massive that life has to offer.
Bertrand Russell
Only in thought is man a God in action and desire we are the slaves of circumstance.
Bertrand Russell
If a philosophy is to bring happiness it should be inspired by kindly feelings. Marx pretended that he wanted the happiness of the proletariat what he really wanted was the unhappiness of the bourgeois.
Bertrand Russell
I feel life is so small unless it has windows into other worlds.
Bertrand Russell
