Intelligent

Famous quotes containing the word intelligent:

    A metaphysician is one who, when you remark that twice two makes four, demands to know what you mean by twice, what by two, what by makes, and what by four.

    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    A fairly bright boy is far more intelligent and far better company than the average adult.
    —J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)
