"Philosophy cannot itself determine the ends of life, but it can free us from the tyranny of prejudice and from distortions due to a narrow view. Love, beauty, knowledge, and joy of life: these things retain their lustre however wide our purview. And if philosophy can help us to feel the value of these things, it will have played its part in man’s collective work of bringing light into a world of darkness."
― Bertrand Russell, An Outline of Philosophy (1927), Part IV, The Universe, Ch. 27, Man's Place in the Universe, p. 381
