I am sometimes shocked by the blasphemies of those who think themselves pious.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

If you think your belief is ba...

If you think your belief is based upon reason, you will support it by argument rather than by persecution, and will abandon it if the argument goes against you. But if your belief is based upon faith, you will realize that argument is useless, and will therefore resort to force either in the form of persecution or by stunting or distorting the minds of the young in what is called 'education.'

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Of course not. After all, I ma...

Of course not. After all, I may be wrong.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

There is no excuse for deceivi...

There is no excuse for deceiving children. And when, as must happen in conventional families, they find that their parents have lied, they lose confidence in them and feel justified in lying to them.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

What men really want is not kn...

What men really want is not knowledge but certainty.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

I hold all knowledge that is c...

I hold all knowledge that is concerned with things that actually exist - all that is commonly called Science - to be of very slight value compared to the knowledge which, like philosophy and mathematics, is concerned with ideal and eternal objects, and is freed from this miserable world which God has made.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

All definite knowledge - so I ...

All definite knowledge - so I should contend - belongs to science; all dogma as to what surpasses definite knowledge belongs to theology. But between theology and science there is a No Man's Land, exposed to attack by both sides; this No Man's Land is philosophy.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Boys and girls should be taught respect for each other's liberty... and that jealousy and possessiveness kill love.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Love as a relation between men...

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

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

I believe myself that romantic...

I believe myself that romantic love is the source of the most intense delights that life has to offer. In the relation of a man and woman who love each other with passion and imagination and tenderness, there is something of inestimable value, to be ignorant of which is a great misfortune to any human being.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

St. Paul introduced an entirel...

St. Paul introduced an entirely novel view of marriage, that it existed primarily to prevent the sin of fornication. It is just as if one were to maintain that the sole reason for baking bread is to prevent people from stealing cake.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

You could live without the opera singer, but not without the services of the baker. On this ground you might say that the baker performs a greater service; but no lover of music would agree.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

With equal passion I have soug...

With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway about the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

What the world needs is not do...

What the world needs is not dogma but an attitude of scientific inquiry.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

What has human happiness to do...

What has human happiness to do with morals? The object of morals is not to make people happy.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

You are a wicked motorcar, and I shall not give you any more petrol until you go.

Love is wise Ђ' Hatred is foolish.

If you had the power to destroy the world, would you do so?

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Truth is a shining goddess, always veiled, always distant, never wholly approachable, but worthy of all the devotion of which the human spirit is capable.

Great God in Boots! Ђ' the ontological argument is sound!
