More quotes by Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Televison allows thousands of people to laugh at the same joke and still remain alone.
Bertrand Russell
The habit of looking to the future and thinking that the whole meaning of the present lies in what it will bring forth is a pernicious one. There can be no value in the whole unless there is value in the parts.
Bertrand Russell
One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
One is always a little afraid of love, but above all, one is afraid of pain or causing pain.
Bertrand Russell
Religions which have any very strong hold over men's actions have generally some instinctive basis.
Bertrand Russell
Some `advanced thinkers' are of the opinion that anyone who differs from the conventional opinion must be in the right. This is a delusion if it were not, truth would be easier to come by than it is.
Bertrand Russell
The purpose of education is to teach a defense against eloquence.
Bertrand Russell
A smell of petroleum prevails throughout.
Bertrand Russell
A life devoted to science is therefore a happy life, and its happiness is derived from the very best sources that are open to dwellers on this troubled and passionate planet.
Bertrand Russell
Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possibilities which enlarge our thoughts and free them from the tyranny of custom.
Bertrand Russell
Remember your humanity, and forget the rest.
Bertrand Russell
