More quotes by Bertrand Russell
The late F. W. H. Myers used to tell how he asked a man at a dinner table what he thought would happen to him when he died. The man tried to ignore the question, but, on being pressed, replied: Oh well, I suppose I shall inherit eternal bliss, but I wish you wouldn't talk about such unpleasant subjects.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty-a beauty cold and austere ... yet sublimely pure and capable of stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.
Bertrand Russell
To fear love is to fear life.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
Bertrand Russell
How much good it would do if one could exterminate the human race.
Bertrand Russell
If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy.
Bertrand Russell
I feel life is so small unless it has windows into other worlds.
Bertrand Russell
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own.
Bertrand Russell
War...seems a mere madness, a collective insanity.
Bertrand Russell
Only six need be attempted.
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
