My Philosophical Development Quotes

“This is one of those views which are so absurd that only very learned men could possibly adopt them.”
― Bertrand Russell, My Philosophical Development

“The accusation of metaphysics has become in philosophy something like the accusation of being a security risk in the public service.

― Bertrand Russell, My Philosophical Development
