- Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

“Only the extremely ignorant or the extremely intelligent can resist change.”

- Socrates

"Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all others are jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself."
