Bertrand Russell
It is obviously possible that what we call waking life may only be an unusual and persistent nightmare.
Bertrand Russell
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is a paradox as is a paradox why the number 1 is not prime if it has no other divisors besides himself.
Bertrand Russell
We are condemned to kill time, thus we die bit by bit. - Octavio Paz The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
Bertrand Russell
Religions that teach brotherly love have been used as an excuse for persecution, and our profoundest scientific insight is made into a means of mass destruction.
Bertrand Russell
The axiomatic method has many advantages over honest work.
Bertrand Russell
Worry is a form of fear, and all forms of fear produce fatigue. A man who has learned not to feel fear will find the fatigue of daily life enormously diminished.
Bertrand Russell
One is always a little afraid of love, but above all, one is afraid of pain or causing pain.
Bertrand Russell
