Language serves not only to express thought but to make possible thoughts which could not exist without it.
Bertrand RussellA good social system is not to be secured by making people unselfish, but, by making their own vital impulses fit in with other peoples. This is feasible. Those who have produced stoic philosophies have all had enough to eat and drink. I feel I shall find the truth on my deathbed and be surrounded by people too stupid to understandโfussing about medicines instead of searching for wisdom. I hate being all tidy like a book in a library where nobody reads โ prison is horribly like that.
Bertrand RussellThe conception of the necessary unit of all that is resolves itself into the poverty of the imagination, and a freer logic emancipates us from the straitwaistcoated benevolent institution, which idealism palms off as the totality of being.
