Bertrand Russel Autobiography

For quite sometime in the past, I had been reading the quotes and random publications by Sir Bertrand Russell. And I should admit that I am bewildered by the profanity of his thoughts and the clarity and command of the language. One of the quotes that I simply loved was, "the problem with this world is that the fools and fanatics are so sure of themselves where wise men are full of doubts."

I doubt there are not many men in this world who have made so much contributions to myriad fields like mathematics, philosophy, education, etc. One of his significant contributions had been in the field of nuclear and atomic weapon disarmament by mighty governments of the world. He preached and advocated for that.

Recently his autobiography and many other writings are available in Indian prints. I bought his autobiography and started reading. Its entertaining and engaging.
