More quotes by Bertrand Russell
A world without delight and without affection is a world destitute of value.
Bertrand Russell
The first dogma which I came to disbelieve was that of free will. It seemed to me that all notions of matter were determined by the laws of dynamics and could not therefore be influenced by human wills.
Bertrand Russell
It is likely that America will be more important during the next century or two, but after that it may well be the turn of China.
Bertrand Russell
Meantime, the world in which we exist has other aims. But it will pass away, burnt up in the fire of its own hot passions and from its ashes will spring a new and younger world, full of fresh hope, woth the light of morning in its eyes.
Bertrand Russell
Is the set of all sets which are not members of themselves a member of itself?
Bertrand Russell
What men really want is not knowledge but certainty.
Bertrand Russell
I used often to go to America during Prohibition, and there was far more drunkenness there then than before the prohibition of pornography has much the same effect.
Bertrand Russell
The essence of education is that it is a change effected in the organism to satisfy the operator.
Bertrand Russell
Conquer the world by intelligence, and not merely by being slavishly subdued by the terror that comes from it.
Bertrand Russell
I believe that the abolition of private ownership of land and capital is a necessary step toward any world in which the nations are to live at peace with one another.
Bertrand Russell
Indemnity for the past and security for the future.
Bertrand Russell
It seems to be the fate of idealists to obtain what they have struggled for in a form which destroys their ideals.
Bertrand Russell
Americans need rest, but do not know it. I believe this to be a large part of the explanation of the crime wave in the United States.
Bertrand Russell
It is only theory that makes men completely incautious.
Bertrand Russell
What the world needs is not dogma but an attitude of scientific inquiry.
Bertrand Russell
Religions that teach brotherly love have been used as an excuse for persecution, and our profoundest scientific insight is made into a means of mass destruction.
Bertrand Russell
Life and hope for the world are to be found only in the deeds of love.
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
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
Look at me. Look at me is one of the fundamental desires of human heart.
Bertrand Russell
