Even if we could be certain that one of the world's religions were perfectly true, given the sheer number of conflicting faiths on offer, every believer should expect damnation purely as a matter of probability.
Bertrand RussellThere is an artist imprisoned in each one of us. Let him loose to spread joy everywhere.
Bertrand RussellThe universe may have a purpose, but nothing we know suggests that, if so, this purpose has any similarity to ours.
Bertrand RussellIf life is to be fully human it must serve some end which seems, in some sense, outside human life, some end which is impersonal and above mankind, such as God or truth or beauty. Those who best promote life do not have life for their purpose. They aim rather at what seems like a gradual incarnation, a bringing into our human existence of something eternal, something that appears to imagination to live in a heaven remote from strife and failure and the devouring jaws of Time.
