Zitate über Leben von Bertrand Russell
„Warum ich kein Christ bin“, Szcesny Verlag 1963, S. 15
("I should wish to see a world in which education aimed at mental freedom rather than at imprisoning the minds of the young in a rigid armour of dogma calculated to protect them through life against the shafts of impartial evidence. The world needs open hearts and open minds, and it is not through rigid systems, whether old or new, that these can be derived." - Vorwort zu: Why I am not a Christian. Last philosophical testament: 1943-68, S. 567

"What is true of Christianity is equally true of Buddhism. [The Buddha was amiable and enlightened; on his deathbed he laughed at his disciples for supposing that he was immortal. But] the Buddhist priesthood - as it exists, for example, in Tibet - has been obscurantist, tyrannous, and cruel in the highest degree." - "Has Religion Made Useful Contributions to Civilization?"

("It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions makes it impossible to earn a living. It is clear also that thought is not free if all the arguments on one side of a controversy are perpetually presented as attractively as possible, while the arguments on the other side can only be discovered by diligent search.")
