Bertrand Russell on the media, stupid and wicked rulers of the world, how smoking saved his life and love

"Everything sane and sensible and quiet that we do [against nuclear weapons and war] is absolutely ignored by the press. ... I can't bare the thought of many hundreds of millions of people dying in agony only and solely because the rules of the world are stupid and wicked -- and I can't bear it! ... I owe my life to smoking. ... Love is wise, hatred is foolish."
