More quotes by Bertrand Russell

Image
For some reason which I have failed to understand, many people like the system [scientific totalitarianism] when it is Russian but disliked the very same system when it was German. I am compelled to think that this is due to the power of labels these people like whatever is labelled ‘Left’ without examining whether the label has any justification.

Dread of disaster makes everybody act in the very way that increases the disaster.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Extreme hopes are born of extreme misery, and in such a world hopes could only be irrational.
Bertrand Russell
Image
At all times, except when a monarch could enforce his will, war has been facilitated by the fact that vigorous males, confident of victory, enjoyed it, while their females admired them for their prowess.
Bertrand Russell
Image
I do not believe that science per se is an adequate source of happiness, nor do I think that my own scientific outlook has contributed very greatly to my own happiness, which I attribute to defecating twice a day with unfailing regularity.
Bertrand Russell

All's well that ends well which is the epitaph I should put on my tombstone if I were the last man left alive.
Bertrand Russell

The most essential characteristic of scientific technique is that it proceeds from experiment, not from tradition.
Bertrand Russell
Image
The doctrine (of) maintaining that the language of daily life, with words used in their ordinary meanings, suffices for philosophy . . . I find myself totally unable to accept . . . . Because it makes almost inevitable the perpetuation amongst philosophers of the muddle-headedness they have taken over from common sense.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Collective wisdom, alas, is no adequate substitute for the intelligence of individuals. Individuals who opposed received opinions have been the source of all progress, both moral and intellectual. They have been unpopular, as was natural.
Bertrand Russell
Image
One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told I have not noticed it.
Bertrand Russell

A fanatical belief in democracy makes democratic institutions impossible.
Bertrand Russell
Image
In considering irregular appearances, there are certain very natural mistakes which must be avoided.

Hitler is an outcome of Rousseau.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell
Image
To fear love is to fear life.
Bertrand Russell
Image
For love of domination we must substitute equality for love of victory we must substitute justice for brutality we must substitute intelligence for competition we must substitute cooperation. We must learn to think of the human race as one family.
Bertrand Russell
Image
The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history.
Bertrand Russell
Image
In a just world, there would be no possibility of 'charity'.
Bertrand Russell
Image
No opinion has ever been too errant to become a creed.

Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.
