The Glory Of Thought
Bertrand Russell
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth–
Bertrand Russell
more than ruin,
Bertrand Russell
more even than death.
Bertrand Russell
Thought is subversive and revolutionary,
Bertrand Russell
destructive and terrible;
Bertrand Russell
thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits;
Bertrand Russell
thought is anarchic and lawless,
Bertrand Russell
indifferent to authority,
Bertrand Russell
careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages.
Bertrand Russell
Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid.
Bertrand Russell
It sees man, a feeble speck, surrounded by unfathomable depths of silence;
Bertrand Russell
yet it bears itself proudly, as unmoved as if it were lord of the universe.
Bertrand Russell
Thought is great
Bertrand Russell
and swift and free,
Bertrand Russell
the light of the world,
Bertrand Russell
and the chief glory of man.
