Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them.― Bertrand Russell
I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong. ― Bertrand Russell

I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian god may exist; so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon.

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid ... Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. ― Bertrand Russell
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already 3-parts dead. ― Bertrand Russell
Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so. ― Bertrand Russell
In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted. ― Bertrand Russell
