Deep Red / Profondo rosso (1975) dir. Dario Argento

“Philosophy may claim justly that it diminishes the risk of error, and that in some cases it renders the risk so small as to be practically negligible. To do more than this is not possible in a world where mistakes must occur; and more than this no prudent advocate of philosophy would claim to have performed.” — Bertrand Russell, The Problems of Philosophy (via philosophybits)
