Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
“My desire and wish is that the things I start with should be so obvious that you wonder why I spend my time stating them. This is what I aim at because the point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.”
Bertrand Russell, The Philosophy of Logical Atomism

Bertrand Russell
“It is the preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly.”
Bertrand Russell
