Bertrand Russell

"Philosophers, for the most part, are constitutionally timid, and dislike the unexpected. Few of them would be genuinely happy as pirates or burglars. Accordingly they invent systems which make the future calculable, at least in its main outlines."

I need to do some reading on Bertrand Russell. He seems like my kind of guy.

Nice find & some interesting thoughts form him. The one that has alwatys stuck in my mind is:
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
Simple, true & very profound at the same time. Would have been good to meet someone like him & so many others of his ilk.
