Bertrand Russell Quotes

To All The Talented Young Men Who Wander About Feeling That There Is Nothing In The World For Them To Do, I Should Say: 'Give Up Trying To Write, And, Instead, Try Not To Write. Go Out Into The World; Become A Pirate, A King In Borneo, A Labourer In Soviet Russia; Give Yourself An Existence In Which The Satisfaction Of Elementary Physical Needs Will Occupy Almost All Your Energies.' I Do Not Recommend This Course Of Action To Everyone, But Only To Those Who Suffer From The Disease Which Mr Krutch Diagnoses. I Believe That, After Some Years Of Such An Existence, The Ex-intellectual Will Fin That In Spite Of Is Efforts He Can No Longer Refrain From Writing, And When This Time Comes His Writing Will Not Seem To Him Futile.
