Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense... - Bertrand Russell

"The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper."

"And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence"

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

"It is essential to happiness that our way of living should spring from our own deep impulses and not from the accidental tastes and desires of those who happen to be our neighbors, or even our relations."

"The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge."
