I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Intelligence is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.
While I've worked on many topics and written many books, I have not abandoned my interest in multiple intelligences.
I think intelligence basically can be in a way defined by the possibility of having two opposite ideas living together and at the same time functioning. That's why I think a smart script has two things living in the same place, and they're absolutely contradictory.
My mom was in education, and I remember reading in one of her books about multiple intelligences - this whole theory about how there are all these different ways you can be intelligent, like eight or 10 of them or something. And one of them is emotional.
I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Human intelligence is a marvelous, subtle, and poorly understood phenomenon. There is no danger of duplicating it anytime soon.
Unless one is a genius, it is best to aim at being intelligible.
The people who work in intelligence work are more conscious, more apt to be attentive.
Intelligence is quickness in seeing things as they are.
