intellectuals quotes

• Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. (Albert Einstein) [intellectuals]
• There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than politicians think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think. (Michel Foucault) [more//intellectuals/]
• Intellectuals can tell themselves anything, sell themselves any bill of goods, which is why they were so often patsies for the ruling classes in nineteenth-century France and England, or twentieth-century Russia and America. (Lillian Hellman) [intellectuals/america]
• I hate intellectuals. They are from the top down. I am from the bottom up. (Frank Lloyd Wright) [intellectuals/top]
• We had many intellectuals and industry people who looked down on us, as if it were beneath them to even watch us. Nowadays, those comparisons aren't made. (Dirk Benedict) [intellectuals/people/watch]
• Real intellectuals like to escape once in a while from their world of intellect. (Desi Arnaz) [intellectuals/intellect]
