Term Intellectual

Famous quotes containing the words term and/or intellectual:

“In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term abandonment, to describe the self-surrender of the orator.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“An intellectual hatred is the worst,
So let her think opinions are accursed.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
