“An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.”
Albert Camus
“Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.”
Albert Einstein
“Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue.”
Oscar Wilde
“He's definitely a genius in terms of his intellectual capacities. It's awesome, it's really mind-boggling.”
Charles J. Cooper
“Most intellectuals today have a phobia of any explanation of the mind that invokes genetics.”
Steven Pinker
“All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called ''facts.'' They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no ''facts'' at this table.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
