Fluid Intelligence

Famous quotes containing the words fluid and/or intelligence:

    In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
    Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)

    But it is impossible that the creative power should exclude itself. Into every intelligence there is a door which is never closed, through which the creator passes.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
