"He was the most fascinating man I have ever known, the only man I ever loved, the greatest man I shall ever meet, the wittiest, the gayest, the most charming. It was a privilege to know him and I thank God he was my father."
- Katharine Tait, about Bertrand Russell
... I want to be Bertrand Russell; I dream of having my child think so highly of me.
Plus he looks cool.
And he accomplished notariety in all fields of interest.
