 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
No man can hope to be a good philosopher unless he has certain feelings which are not very common.
He must have an intense desire to understand the world, as far as that is possible; and for the sake of understanding, he must be willing to overcome those narrownesses of outlook that make a correct perception impossible. He must learn to think and feel, not as a member of this or that group, but as just a human being.
