stupidity

Intelligence without wisdom is nothing more than stupidity that looks smart.

I like solitude. It is when you truly hear and speak your natural, unadulterated mind, and out comes your most stupid self as well as your most intelligent self. It is when you realize who you are and the extents of the good and the evils which you are capable of.

Took me a few years to understand what intelligence is; Took me an entire lifetime to understand ignorance. I still haven't found an explanation for ignorance, because the ignorant are too ignorant to justify their ignorance.

Most people I meet are stupid. Now, nobody likes to be labeled as stupid because they don__ want to know the truth about themselves, that they__e more useful dead than alive. The vast majority of those that meet me for the first time don__ believe that I__e worked as a College Professor, or that I make a living as a writer. In fact, many have stopped talking to me because they believe I make a living doing something illegal, something criminal. It__ easier for them to believe that I__ just a criminal, than to accept that I__ one of the most famous bestselling writers in the entire planet. The ones that reach the next level, will ask me if I belong to any secret organization, if I speak to demons or if I channel the dead, or even if I steal information from the internet and other authors. Now, what they can__ see, is that the more they talk such things, the more they show me their real nature. They are very, really very, stupid. They can__ see an elephant in front of their nose; they can__ see an intelligent human being in front of their face; they are indeed very stupid and that__ a fact, not an assumption.

Not stupid. Overly trusting, maybe, but that reflects on his lack of trustworthiness, not on your intelligence.

I am not the sharpest knife in the knife-thing.

[Chess] is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when they are only wasting their time.

The more stupid one is, the closer one is to reality. The more stupid one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence squirms and hides itself. Intelligence is unprincipled, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

Humans beings always do the most intelligent thing_after they__e tried every stupid alternative and none of them have worked

Mary wished to say something very sensible, but knew not how.

I would prefer an intelligent hell to a stupid paradise.

One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn__ understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so__ut not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.

People do not read stupidities with impunity.

A fool can't help but be a fool, but when others follow, he makes a fool of us all.

God invites. We decline. And because of that single foolhardy decision we spend the rest of our lives __eclining_.

The greatest ugliness in the world is seeing so beautiful a creature spoil themselves on stupidity.

Beauty fades, dumb is forever.
