There are some with brains and some without. It makes for a better division of labour.
BERTOLT BRECHT, Baal
Intelligence forbids tears.
DORIS LESSING, A Man and Two Women
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD, "The Crack Up"
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
ALBERT EINSTEIN, as quoted in Jerry Mayer's Bite-Size Einstein
Intelligence is the art of good guesswork.
H.B. BARLOW, The Oxford Companion to the Mind
Reason is man's instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is man's instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.
ERICH FROMM, The Sane Society
