Change is one thing, progress is another.
Bertrand Russell
Image
From India to Spain, the brilliant civilization of Islam flourished. What was lost to christendom at this time was not lost to civilization, but quite the contrary.
Bertrand Russell

A million million years gives us some time to prepare for the end . . . let us make the best of it.
Bertrand Russell
Image
As soon as we abandon our own reason, and are content to rely upon authority, there is no end to our troubles.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Even if we could be certain that one of the world's religions were perfectly true, given the sheer number of conflicting faiths on offer, every believer should expect damnation purely as a matter of probability.
Bertrand Russell
