'I am looking forward very much to getting back to Cambridge and being able to say what I think and not to mean what I say: two things which at home are impossible. Cambridge is one of the few places where one can talk unlimited nonsense and generalities without anyone pulling one up or confronting one with them when one says just the opposite the next day.'

(Bertrand Russell in 1893, as quoted in R. Kimball, 'Lives of the Mind')
