Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth


"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth— more than ruin— more even than death. . . . Thought is subversive and revolutionary , destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit . Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."

~ Bertrand Russell
