 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
There are people, like the Comte de Monte Cristo, who have burning passions leading them straight to the right choice of means. Do not tell me that that worthy man's aims were irrational. There is no such thing as an irrational aim except in the sense of one that is impossible of realization. Nor are cold calculators always conventionally wicked.
