It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

- More quotations on: [Intelligence]
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970), Marriage and Morals (1929) ch. 19
