Bertrand RussellI have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times.

These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken.
