Famous quotes containing the words smart and/or brain:
“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)
“To accuse another of having weak kidneys, lungs, or heart, is not a crime; on the contrary, saying he has a weak brain is a crime. To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn’t.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
