A good notation has a subtlety and suggestiveness which at times make it almost seem like a live teacher (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Science does not aim at establishing immutable truths and eternal dogmas; its aim is to approach the truth by successive approximations, without claiming that at any stage final and complete accuracy has been achieved (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
In human relations one should penetrate to the core of loneliness in each person and speak to that (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Even if we could be certain that one of the world’s religions were perfectly true, given the sheer number of conflicting faiths on offer, every believer should expect damnation purely as a matter of probability (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
I know a parson who frightened his congregation terribly by telling them the second coming was very imminent indeed, but they were much consoled when they found he was planting trees in his garden (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
... impregnation will be regarded in an entirely different manner, more in the light of a surgical operation, so that it will be thought not ladylike to have it performed in the natural manner (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
At first it seems obvious, but the more you think about it the stranger the deductions from this axiom seem to become; in the end you cease to understand what is meant by it (Bertrand Russell Quotes)

The pure mathematician, like the musician, is a free creator of his world of ordered beauty (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Boys and young men acquire readily the moral sentiments of their social milieu, whatever these sentiments may be (Bertrand Russell Quotes)

Science is no substitute for virtue; the heart is as necessary for a good life as the head (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
A marriage is likely to be called happy if neither party ever expected to get much happiness out of it (Bertrand Russell Quotes)

Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
