“Message to the Future (1959) - Bertrand Russel “I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral. The intellectual thing I should want to say is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say. The moral thing I should wish to say… I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more closely and closely interconnected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don’t like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.” “The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”

“The sun still shines on Summer's leaves as Spring's leaves grow old, and Fall's weather grows cold. Fall seasons sweep them up and them out, while Winter communicates with cool winds. Snowflakes break their news release to the Earth, announcing its time to trend the season's way in; while 'mediarologists' report the fact updates & histories about weather's who, what why, how and when.”

“Este imposibil de știut câți ani va trăi un om sau în ce fel va muri. Viața este ca uleiul dintr-o lampă. Poate fi măsurat dar ritmul în care arde depinde de cum este rotit zi de zi cadranul, de cât de strălucitoare și înverșunată este flacăra. Și nu poți prezice dacă lampa ar putea fi răsturnată și spulberată, când ar fi putut să ardă încă mult timp. Viața este imprevizibilă. Este bine că nu ai multe întrebări; eu nu am niciun răspuns.”
