Bertrand Russell on Immortality
Religion and Science (New York: Oxford University Press), pp. 108-09.
But in the present state of psychology and physiology, belief in
immortality can, at any rate, claim no support from science, and such
arguments as are possible on the subject point to the probable
extinction of personality at death. We may regret the thought that we
shall not survive, but is a comfort to think that all the persecutors
and Jew-baiters and humbugs will not continue to exist for all
eternity. We may be told that they would improve in time, but I doubt
it.
