Bertrand Russell Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: May 18, 1872 - February 2, 1970
Birthday: May 18
Death: February 2
From that awful encounter of the soul with the outer world, enunciation, wisdom, and charity are born; and with their birth a new life begins. To take into the inmost shrine of the soul the irresistible forces whose puppets we seem to be - Death and change, the irrevocableness of the past, and the powerlessness of Man before the blind hurry of the universe from vanity to vanity - to feel these things and know them is to conquer them.
