Bertrand Russell
  • Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.

  • Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.

  • We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.

  • So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

  • There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
