Bertrand Russell Quotes
After Justinian Became Emperor: "He Was A Man Of Deep Piety, Which He Signalized, Two Years After His Accession, By Closing The Schools Of Philosophy In Athens, Where Paganism Still Reigned. The Dispossessed Philosophers Betook Themselves To Persia, Where The King Received Them Kindly. But They Were Shocked
More So, Says Gibbon, Than Became Philosophers
By The Persian Practices Of Polygamy And Incest, So They Returned Home Again, And Faded Into Obscurity." How Tumultuous Thou Art, Sixth Century!
