“I've been called many things, but never an intellectual.”
Tallulah Bankhead
“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
“Communism is the opiate of the intellectuals with no cure except as a guillotine might be called a cure for dandruff.”
Clare Boothe Luce
“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
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”
Isaac Asimov
