バートランド・ラッセルの名言・警句( Bertrand Russell Quotes )


This sport is called 'Chicken!' It is played by choosing a long straight road with a white line down the middle and starting two very fast cars towards each other from opposite ends. ...if one of them swerves from the white line before the other, the other, as he passes, shouts 'Chicken !', and the one who has swerved becomes an object of contempt. As played by youthful plutocrats, this game is considered decadent and immoral, .. But when the game is played by eminent statesmen, who risk not only their own lives but those of many hundreds of millions of human beings, it is thought on both sides that the statesmen on one side are displaying a high degree of wisdom and courage, and only the statesmen on the other side are reprehensible.
