“The pursuit of philosophy is founded on the belief that knowledge is good, even if what is known is painful.”
— Bertrand Russell, Philosophy for Laymen, Universities Quarterly 1 (November 1946)
“When you hate, you generate a reciprocal hate. When individuals hate each other, the harm is finite; but when great groups of nations hate each other, the harm may be infinite and absolute. Do not fall back upon the thought that those whom you hate deserve to be hated. I do not know whether anybody deserves to be hated, but I do know that hatred of those whom we believe to be evil is not what will redeem mankind.”
