That Bertrand Russell Passage About Death?

[beforwisdom]

Hi;

Last year I checked "The God Delusion" by Dawkins out of the library.   Towards the end of the book Dawkins brought up what were the secular substitutes for the mental comfort religion provided.  Dawkins quoted a passage from Bertrand Russell on death.   It roughly went that Russell knew he was dying, was staring the oblivion of death right in the face and he felt no tension about it.

Can anyone point me to somewhere on the Internet where I can find a copy of that quote?

Thanks
