George Santayana, philosopher, writer, observed:
[Russell] had been so well educated as to "lose the sense in the logic of words"
and make judgments "always unfair and sometimes mad".

D. H. Lawrence wrote of how Russell, Keynes and "The Club" repelled him:
"they talk endlessly, but endlessly---and never, never a good thing said."

What Lawrence said about passional, primitive and abounding vitality, as against the metallic coffin
of machines and systems...---Paul West, 1966
