• An intelligent man, a man who has a little meditative consciousness, can make his life a beautiful piece of art, can make it so full of love and full of music and full of poetry and full of dance that there are no limitations for it. Life is not hard. It is man's stupidity that makes it hard.

  Rajneesh

• The second best thing about space travel is that the distances involved make war very difficult, usually impractical, and almost always unnecessary. This is probably a loss for most people, since war is our race's most popular diversion, one which gives purpose and color to dull and stupid lives. But it is a great boon to the intelligent man who fights only when he must-never for sport.

  Robert A. Heinlein

• A metaphysician is one who, when you remark that twice two makes four, demands to know what you mean by twice, what by two, what by makes, and what by four. For asking such questions metaphysicians are supported in oriental luxury in the universities, and respected as educated and intelligent men.

• People who are not in love fail to understand how an intelligent man can suffer because of a very ordinary woman. This is like being surprised that anyone should be stricken with cholera because of a creature so insignificant as the common bacillus.

• Una de las cosas más tragicómicas de la vida es cuando un hombre hace de algo imaginario -como una religión- su propia bandera y la lleva toda la vida e incluso muere por ella. Un hombre inteligente sólo tiene una bandera: ¡La bandera de la razón y la ciencia!

• President Bush is an intelligent man. He is not going to declare an economic war against Iraq . [...] I admire your extraordinary efforts to rebuild your country. I know you need funds.

• Y ahora estoy aguantando mis días en mi rincón, burlándome de mí mismo con los consuelos amargos y completamente inútiles de que un hombre inteligente no puede llegar a ser nada en serio; que sólo un tonto puede llegar a ser algo. Sí, señor, un hombre inteligente del siglo XIX debe ser, está moralmente obligado a ser, una criatura esencialmente sin carácter; y un hombre de carácter, un hombre de acción, una criatura esencialmente limitada. Esta es mi convicción a la edad de cuarenta años. Ahora tengo cuarenta años, y cuarenta años es toda una vida, es la vejez más profunda. ¡Vivir más allá de los cuarenta es indecente, vulgar, inmoral!

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

• Debemos aumentar los salarios de nuestros operadores o nos los quitarán a todos, es decir, a todos los que sirven para algo. Recordarán que, en la primera reunión del Consejo de Administración, sostuve que "nuestra política era hacer que el cargo de operador fuera deseable, pagar bien a los operadores y hacer que su situación fuera tan agradable que los hombres inteligentes y de carácter buscaran el puesto y temieran perderlo". Sigo pensando lo mismo y, créanlo, actuar según este principio es la economía más sensata.

• [About Pierre de Fermat] It cannot be denied that he has had many exceptional ideas, and that he is a highly intelligent man.

• Mark the babe not long accustomed to this breathing world; One that hath barely learned to shape a smile, though yet irrational of soul, to grasp with tiny finger - to let fall a tear; And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves, To stretch his limbs, becoming, as might seem. The outward functions of intelligent man.

• Oh, gentlemen, perhaps I really regard myself as an intelligent man only because throughout my entire life I've never been able to start or finish anything. Granted, granted I'm a babbler, a harmless, irksome babbler, as we all are. But what's to be done if the sole and express purpose of every intelligent man is babble--that is, a deliberate pouring from empty into void.

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

• Para mí una página de buena prosa es donde se oye llover. Una página de buena prosa es cuando uno oye el ruido de la batalla.... Una página de buena prosa me parece el diálogo más serio que hombres y mujeres bien informados e inteligentes mantienen hoy en su empeño por conseguir que los fuegos de este planeta ardan pacíficamente.

  John Cheever
