Ants and savages put strangers to death.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Some people would rather die than think.
Bertrand Russell
When all experts agree, you need to watch out.
Bertrand Russell
Artists are on the average less happy than men of science.
Bertrand Russell
Worry is a form of fear.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
It is only theory that makes men completely incautious.
Bertrand Russell
What will be the good of the conquest of leisure and health, if no one remembers how to use them?
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
War grows out of ordinary human nature.
Bertrand Russell
If a philosophy is to bring happiness it should be inspired by kindly feelings. Marx pretended that he wanted the happiness of the proletariat what he really wanted was the unhappiness of the bourgeois.
Bertrand Russell
That which exists through itself is called The Eternal. The Eternal has neither name nor shape. It is the one essence, the one primal spirit. Essence and life cannot be seen. They are contained in the light of heaven. The light of heaven cannot be seen. It is contained in the two eyes.
Bertrand Russell
You could live without the opera singer, but not without the services of the baker. On this ground you might say that the baker performs a greater service but no lover of music would agree.
Bertrand Russell
The man who suffers from a sense of sin is suffering from a particular kind of self-love. In all this vast universe the thing that appears to him of most importance is that he himself should be virtuous. It is a grave defect in certain forms of traditional religion that they have encouraged this particular kind of self-absorption.
Bertrand Russell
If two hitherto rival football teams, under the influence of brotherly love, decided to co-operate in placing the football first beyond one goal and then beyond the other, no one's happiness would be increased
Bertrand Russell
Shakespeare . . . If he does not give you delight, you had better ignore him [if you can].
Bertrand Russell
I am sometimes shocked by the blasphemies of those who think themselves pious.
Bertrand Russell
A hallucination is a fact, not an error what is erroneous is a judgment based upon it.
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
