I must, before I die, find some way to say the essential thing that is in me, that I have never said yet -- a thing that is not love or hate or pity or scorn, but the very breath of life, fierce and coming from far away, bringing into human life the vastness and the fearful passionless force of non-human things. (Bertrand Russell Quotes)

Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Neither the Church nor modern public opinion condemns petting, provided it stops short at a certain point. (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The teaching of Christ, as it appears in the Gospels, has had extraordinarily little to do with the ethics of Christians. (Bertrand Russell Quotes)

Mathematics is only the art of saying the same thing in different words (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
To the young I should offer two maxims: Don’t accept superficial solutions of difficult problems. It is better to do a little good than much harm. I should not offer anything more specific; every young person should decide on his or her own credo. (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
