• Si, en un individuo, la formación universitaria produce un gusto por la ociosidad refinada, un disgusto por el esfuerzo sostenido, una arrogancia intelectual estéril o un sentido de distanciamiento superfluo del mundo de los hombres reales que hacen el trabajo real del mundo, entonces ha perjudicado a ese individuo.

• Las sociedades occidentales, desde la antigua Atenas hasta la Roma imperial y la república francesa, rara vez se derrumbaron por escasez de recursos o porque los enemigos extranjeros resultaran demasiado numerosos o formidables en armas, incluso cuando esos enemigos eran macedonios o germanos sombríos. Más bien, en tiempos de paz y prosperidad surgió una visión irreal del mundo más allá de sus fronteras, producto de la insularidad provocada por el éxito, y una arrogancia intelectual que para algunos puede ser el desafortunado subproducto de una sociedad ilustrada.

  Victor Davis Hanson

• Many Christians are either woefully deficient in their knowledge of Scripture or noticeably devoid of any experience of God's power. The Lord never intended this for His people. We have all seen firsthand the joyless intellectual arrogance the absence of spiritual power can produce, as well as the fanatical emotional excess that comes from the lack of theological integrity.

• We exhort the compromisers to open their hearts to truth, to free themselves of their wretched and blind circumspection, of their intellectual arrogance, and of the servile fear which dries up their souls and paralyzes their movements. Let us therefore trust the eternal Spirit which destroys and annihilates only because it is the unfathomable and eternal source of all life. The passion for destruction is a creative passion, too!

  Mijaíl Bakunin

• Look, first of all, the climate is changing. I don't think the science is clear what percentage is man-made and what percentage is natural. It's convoluted. And for the people to say the science is decided on, this is just really arrogant, to be honest with you, it's this intellectual arrogance that now you can't even have a conversation about it. The climate is changing, and we need to adapt to that reality.

  Barack Obama
