Bertrand Russell
Envy ... is one form of a vice, partly moral, partly intellectual, which consists in seeing things never in themselves but only in their relations.
Bertrand Russell
The man who has fed the chicken every day throughout its life at last wrings its neck instead, showing that more refined views as to the uniformity of nature would have been useful to the chicken.
Bertrand Russell
What the world needs is not dogma but an attitude of scientific inquiry.
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

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
The great majority of men and women, in ordinary times, pass through life without ever contemplating or criticising, as a whole, either their own conditions or those of the world at large.
Bertrand Russell
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widely spread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.
Bertrand Russell
Zeno was concerned with three problems... These are the problem of the infinitesimal, the infinite, and continuity.
Bertrand Russell
Do not feel certain of anything.
Bertrand Russell
I FIND IT SO DIFFICULT NOT TO HATE, WHEN I DO NOT HATE I FEEL WE FEW ARE SO LONELY IN THE WORLD
Bertrand Russell
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Bertrand Russell
Memory demands an image.
Bertrand Russell
