“We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side: one which we preach but do not practise, and another which we practise but seldom preach.”
-Bertrand Russell, Skeptical Essays
Simply the truth:
“Science can, if it chooses, enable our grandchildren to live the good life, by giving them knowledge, self-control and characters productive of harmony rather than strife. At present it is teaching our children to kill each other, because many men of science are willing to sacrifice the future of mankind to their own momentary prosperity.”
-Bertrand Russell on Nuclear Power
