Bertrand Russell
-
A truer image of the world, I think, is obtained by picturing things as entering into the stream of time from an eternal world outside, than from a view which regards time as the devouring tyrant of all that is.
-
Both in thought and in feeling, even though time be real, to realise the unimportance of time is the gate of wisdom.
-
The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.
-
Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.
-
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
