Smart

Famous quotes containing the word smart:

    Often, we expect too much [from a nanny]. We want someone like ourselves—bright, witty, responsible, loving, imaginative, patient, well-mannered, and cheerful. Also, we want her to be smart, but not so smart that she’s going to get bored in two months and leave us to go to medical school.
    Louise Lague (20th century)

    Agnes: A half-smart guy, that’s what I always draw. Never once a man who’s smart all the way around the course. Never once.
    Philip Marlowe: I hurt you much, sugar?
    Agnes: You and every other man I’ve ever met.
    William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    Vanity is a vital aid to nature: completely and absolutely necessary to life. It is one of nature’s ways to bind you to the earth.
    —Elizabeth Smart (1913–1986)
