 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
Plas Penrhyn, that they thought would make a pleasant holiday house for us and the children. It was small and unpretentious, but had a delightful garden and little orchard and a number of fine beech trees. Above all, it had a most lovely view, south to the sea, west to Portmadoc and the Caernarvon hills, and north up the valley of the Glaslyn to Snowdon.

From the time he was a child until he attended Cambridge University, Russell lived in his grandparents' house in the suburbs of London (note: the house is a mansion in Richmond Park, a suburb of London, where Queen Victoria allowed his grandfather, who twice served as Prime Minister of England, to live while he was alive). The house had a large garden with a vast, unobstructed view westward to Windsor Castle. Because of this, Russell preferred to live in the countryside, where he could take in the expansive views, rather than in London or other cities where his work took him.
