Intellects whose desires have outstripped their understanding.

Tenured professors are more prone than the rest of us to think that the university is the universe.

It seems that the creative faculty and the critical faculty cannot exist together in their highest perfection.

I have known people who are working class or craftsmen, who happen to be more intellectual than professors.

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

In our society those who are in reality superior in intelligence can be accepted by their fellows only if they pretend they are not.

An intellectual is going to have doubts, for example, about a fundamentalist religious doctrine that admits no doubt, about an imposed political system that allows no doubt, about a perfect aesthetic that has no room for doubt.

There is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
