More from Bertrand Russell
- I would never die for my beliefs, because I might be wrong.
- Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do.
- War does not determine who is right – only who is left.
- We all have a tendency to think that the world must conform to our prejudices. The opposite view involves some effort of thought, and most people would die sooner than think — in fact they do so.
