— Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essays (1950), “Outline of Intellectual Rubbish” (via QuotationsPage.com)
"What the world needs is not dogma but an attitude of scientific inquiry combined with a belief that the torture of millions is not desirable, whether inflicted by Stalin or by a Deity imagined in the likeness of the believer."
