 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
WYATT: What do you think of all these formulae that people are constantly issuing about how to live a long life and be happy?
RUSSELL: Well, as to how to live a longer life, that's a medical question and not one on which I should like to express an opinion. I get a great deal of literature from the advocates of these systems. They tell me that if only I took their drugs my hair would turn black again. I'm not sure that I should like that because I find that the whiter my hair becomes the more ready people are to believe what I say.
