More From Bertrand Russell

I am looking forward very much to getting back to cambridge, and being able to say what i think and not to mean what i say: two things which at home are impossible. cambridge is one of the few places where one can talk unlimited nonsense and generalities without anyone pulling one up or confronting one with them when one says just the opposite the next day.
Home Mean Thinking
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind; and the mind then is never free. but it is only in freedom that you can find out what is true, what is god, not through any belief; because your belief projects what you think god ought to be, what you think ought to be true. if you believe god is love, god is good, god is this or that, your very belief prevents you from understanding what is god, what is true.

I did not enjoy cambridge. but i shouldn't blame cambridge alone. i wasn't ready for university or for the wrench of leaving home. it was a big cultural shock.
