More From Bertrand Russell

- "Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear."
- "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."
