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


ラッセル関係電子書籍一覧
I can remember, at the age of five, being told that childhood was the happiest period of life. I wept inconsolably, wished I were dead, and wondered how I should endure the boredom of the years to come. It is almost inconceivable, nowadays, that anyone should say such a thing to a child. The child's life is instinctively prospective : it is always directed towards the things that will become possible later on. This is part of the stimulus to the child's efforts. To make the child retrospective, to represent the future as worse than the past, is to sap the life of the child at its source.
