Bertrand Russell
One who believes, as I do, that the free intellect is the chief engine of human progress, cannot but be fundamentally opposed to Bolshevism, as much as to the Church of Rome.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Whenever one finds oneself inclined to bitterness, it is a sign of emotional failure.
Bertrand Russell
The more we realize our minuteness and our impotence in the face of cosmic forces, the more amazing becomes what human beings have achieved.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
