“Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
“Argument are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing.”
Oscar Wilde

Mark Twain
“As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.”
“Manners require time, as nothing is more vulgar than haste”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Vulgarized knowledge characteristically gives birth to a feeling that everything is understandable and explained. It is like a system of bridges built over chasms. One can travel boldly ahead over these bridges, ignoring the chasms. It is forbidden to look down into them; but that, alas, does not alter the fact that they exist.”
Czeslaw Milosz
“I hate vulgar realism in literature. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.”
