Man has made use of his intelligence, he invented stupidity.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.

Let us overthrow the totems, break the taboos. Or better, let us consider them cancelled. Coldly, let us be intelligent.

Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them.

...no man of genuinely superior intelligence has ever been an actor. Even supposing a young man of appreciable mental powers to be lured upon the stage, as philosophers are occasionally lured into bordellos, his mind would be inevitably and almost immediately destroyed by the gaudy nonsense issuing from his mouth every night.

I think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.

In the beginning Man created God; and in the image of Man created he him.

An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.

God created sex. Priests created marriage.
