Bertrand Russell

It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results.

Bertrand Russell

It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions makes it impossible to earn a living.

Bertrand Russell

It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly.

Bertrand Russell

It is the things for which there is no evidence that are believed with passion.

Bertrand Russell

Love as a relation between men and women was ruined by the desire to make sure of the legitimacy of children.

Bertrand Russell

Love is a little haven of refuge from the world.

Bertrand Russell

Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.

Bertrand Russell

Love, children, and work, are the great sources of fertilizing contact between the individual and the rest of the world.

Bertrand Russell

Machines are worshipped because they are beautiful and valued because they confer power; they are hated because they are hideous and loathed because they impose slavery.

Bertrand Russell

Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.
