"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind... Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, but always pity brought me back to earth..."
~~ Bertrand Russell - (1872 - 1970) -- from "What I Have Lived For,"
Prologue to Bertrand Russell's Autobiography
