Quote by Bertrand Russell

Joy of life... depends upon a certain spontaneity in regard to sex. Where sex is repressed, only work remains, and a gospel of work for work's sake never produced any work worth doing.

Joy of life... depends upon a certain spontaneity in regard

Summary

This quote suggests that the enjoyment of life is intertwined with an uninhibited expression of sexuality. It argues that when sexuality is suppressed or denied, individuals are left with a life solely centered around work. However, it asserts that placing excessive importance on work alone does not lead to meaningful accomplishments. Implicitly, the quote supports the idea that embracing one's sexual desires fosters a sense of vitality and fulfillment, which contributes to a richer and more purposeful existence.
