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.

Bertrand Russell
Home, Mean, Thinking
Bertrand Russell, Nicholas Griffin (2002). “The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell: The Private Years, 1884-1914”, p.25, Psychology Press

Bertrand Russell
Passion, Home, Cosmos
Bertrand Russell (2016). “Mysticism and Logic”, p.94, Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Home, Diversity, Would Be
Bertrand Russell (2013). “Education and the Social Order”, p.46, Routledge
