Description: 
This is the prologue to the Autobiography of Bertrand Russell, written on 25 July 1956 in his own hand. The text follows:

PROLOGUE.
WHAT I HAVE LIVED FOR.
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy -- ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness -- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what -- at last -- I have found.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.

Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.

This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

/* 
这是《罗素自传》的序，1956年7月25日亲笔。文字如下：
三种简单却极强烈的情感引领着我的生活：对爱的渴望，对知识的渴求和对苦难众生的怜悯。

我最初寻求爱情，因为它带来那种令人愿用余生换取哪怕片刻的狂喜，更因为它消弭独自面对死亡的孤寂。我从爱情中看到诗人们描绘的天堂，听起来有些夸张，但的确如我所见。

我以同样的热情追求知识，我想理解人心，想明白星空为何闪烁，我试图理解毕达哥拉斯那数字主宰一切的力量。我所得不多，但聊胜于无。

爱情与知识使我仰望星空，怜悯使我脚踏实地。痛苦的哭声在我心中回荡。饥饿的儿童，被折磨的受压迫者，子孙不孝的无望老人，和整个由孤独、贫穷和苦难构成的世界，无一不是对人类命运的嘲讽。我想要普渡众生，但实际上做不到，因为我也正受着苦难。

这就是我的一生，它值得一过。如果有机会，我愿意重来一遍。
