• Fraser's mother, Janice, was actually quite a happy soul but she had to hide it because, like all pseudo intellectuals, she thought being cheery made her look stupid, which of course she was for believing that rubbish in the first place. She like to talk about Sartre sometimes, just as insurance.

• People have proven over and over that they will read if they are given something they like. The problem with reading is not reading, its that almost everything out there sucks. For so long, publishing has been run by a cartel of snobby pseudo-intellectual failed writers, and the resulting output has reflected not what the market wants, but what they think people are supposed to read.

• En la época tribal, estaban los curanderos. En la Edad Media, estaban los sacerdotes. Hoy son los abogados. En todas las épocas, un grupo de chicos brillantes, expertos en sus oficios y celosos de su saber, que combinan la competencia técnica con la fantasía y la fantasía para convertirse en los amos de sus semejantes. En cada época, una autocracia pseudointelectual que protege los trucos del oficio de los no iniciados y dirige, según su propio modelo, la civilización de su tiempo.

  Fred Rodell

• When you feel perpetually unmotivated, you start questioning your existence in an unhealthy way; everything becomes a pseudo intellectual question you have no interest in responding whatsoever. This whole process becomes your very skin and it does not merely affect you; it actually defines you. So, you see yourself as a shadowy figure unworthy of developing interest, unworthy of wondering about the world - profoundly unworthy in every sense and deeply absent in your very presence.

  Ingmar Bergman

  Intellectual, Skins, Unmotivated

• Creo que Dios mismo algún día debatirá y responderá a todas las objeciones que los hombres arrogantes puedan plantear contra él; creo que nos humillará y se lo tomará con humor. Los sabihondos, los pseudointelectuales, los antiteístas militantes, por el amor de Cristo, o más bien por su propio amor, más vale que se cuiden de ser asados por su propia medicina. ¡Ah! Nuestros delirios de tratar de argumentar contra un Creador omnisciente.
