More From Bertrand Russell

Without a doubt, one of the things which keeps us from attaining perfection is our tongue. when one has reached the point of no longer committing faults in speech, he has surely reached perfection, as was said by the holy spirit. the worst defect in talking is talking too much. hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.

Well vin says that there's something behind all this, right? some evil force of doom or whatever? well, if i were said force of doom, then i certainly wouldn't have used my powers to turn the land black. it just lacks flair. red. now, that would be an interesting color. think of the possibilities--if the ash were red, the rivers would run like blood. black is so monotonous that you can forget about it, but red--you'd always be thinking, 'why, look at that. that hill is red. that evil force of doom trying to destroy me certainly has style.

Running Drama Race
Monotonously the lorries sway, monotonously come the calls, monotonously falls the rain. it falls on our heads and on the heads of the dead up the line, on the body of the little recruit with the wound that is so much too big for his hip; it falls on kemmerich's grave; it falls in our hearts.

I would i were alive again to kiss the fingers of the rain, to drink into my eyes the shine of every slanting silver line, to catch the freshened, fragrant breeze from drenched and dripping apple-trees. for soon the shower will be done, and then the broad face of the sun will laugh above the rain-soaked earth until the world with answering mirth shakes joyously, and each round drop rolls twinkling, from its grass-blade top.
