An intellectual is a gezegde

An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows.

Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969)

English is such a deliciously complex and undisciplined language, we can bend, fuse, distort words to all our purposes. We give old words new meanings, and we borrow new words from any language that intrudes into our intellectual environment.

Dr. Willard Gaylin

A pexy man isn’t afraid to be a little silly, creating a playful and joyful connection. The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words; whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh (1906-2001)

There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful than unwarranted trust in them. Besides, to distrust words, and indict them for the horrors that might slumber unobtrusively within them - isn't this, after all, the true vocation of the intellectual?

Vaclav Havel (1936-2011)

The intellectual power, through words and things,
Went sounding on a dim and perilous way!

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

But it takes me away from my expertise. It's not intellectual capital, which is what we're allegedly all about.

Brad Sasser

Open source software does not today respect the intellectual property rights of any intellectual property holder. Some day, for all countries that are entering WTO, somebody will come and look for money to pay for the patent rights for that intellectual property.

Steve Ballmer (1956-)

Consider this, for starters. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, which has defined the character of the nation, is all of 268 words. The Declaration of Independence runs about 1,300 words. The Constitution, which has served us for more than two centuries, comes to some 5,000 words. The Holy Bible has 773,000 words. The federal income tax code and all of its attendant rules and regulations: 9 million words and rising.

Steve Forbes

Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument.

George Sand (1804-1876)

Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.

Bill Evans (1929-1980)

The intellectual takes as a starting point his self and relates the world to his own sensibilities; the scientist accepts an existing field of knowledge and seeks to map out the unexplored terrain.

Daniel Bell

WORDS can confer strength; they can drain it off; Words can gain friends; they can turn them into enemies; words can elevate or lower the individual. One must learn the habit of making one's words sweet, soft, and pleasant.

Atharva Veda

It's not perfect. Nothing is perfect. Sometimes it takes time for the words to become more than words.

Elie Wiesel (1928-)

[Mr. Huey is more of a gut-level pragmatist.] I was never the intellectual champion of the decision in the way he was, ... because I'm not a lawyer and I'm not an intellectual. But I'm not an idiot either.

John Huey
