Quote by Bertrand Russell
The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.
Summary
This quote suggests that slaves are compelled to submit to and revere time, fate, and death as superior beings, primarily because they feel unable to find anything greater within themselves. Their thoughts are consumed by these forces, as they dominate and shape their lives. It hints at the helplessness and lack of agency faced by slaves, emphasizing their constant preoccupation with these powerful elements that ultimately control and consume them.
