Tao Te Ching

“Almost all the hypotheses that have dominated modern philosophy were first thought of by the Greeks… they gave birth to theories that have had an independent life and though at first infantile, have proved capable of serving and developing though more than 2000 years; their imaginative inventiveness in abstract matters can hardly be too highly praised.”

— Bertrand Russell 1872 – 1970 CE
“20th century Voltaire”
