I don't like intellectuals, or, at least, people who call themselves that way, because I am under the impression that there is always something condescending in their demeanour, and I don't like condescending people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the categories of people I don't like much are intellectuals. People say, 'Oh, you're an intellectual,' and I say, 'No!' What is an intellectual? An intellectual is somebody who thinks ideas are more important than people.
Intellectuals are people who manage the world in their head. They look at life and try to see some kind of truth, and if they cannot find it, they attempt to create it.
Intellectuals are people who believe that ideas are of more importance than values. That is to say, their own ideas and other people's values.
We've no use for intellectuals in this outfit. What we need is chimpanzees. Let me give you a word of advice: never say a word to us about being intelligent. We will think for you, my friend. Don't forget it.
I've never professed to be an intellectual. I don't try to be.
I've been called many things, but never an intellectual.
You'd be surprised how condescending people can be.
I hate people who over intellectualize. It bores me deeply.
I don't like the intellectual label.
I don't consider myself an intellectual. And this is not one of my aims. But I admire intellectual people.
