Smart Quotes

I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem alien to their natures. Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things? Picture Quote #1

Rather than lose the public because television is here, wouldn’t it be smart to adopt television as our instrument? Picture Quote #1

Many of our newly smart would rather be found murdering their children than being kind to their parents. They would prefer to be damned for rudeness than to be snickered at for courtesy Picture Quote #1

We all have to rise in the end, not just one or two who were smart enough, had will enough for their own salvation, but all the halt, the maimed and the blind of us which is most of us Picture Quote #1

If I was smart enough to be a doctor, I’d be a doctor. I ain’t, so I’m a football player Picture Quote #1

The majority of persons choose their wives with as little prudence as they eat. They see a troll with nothing else to recommend her but a pair of thighs and choice hunkers, and so smart to void their seed that they marry her at once. They imagine they can live in marvelous contentment with handsome feet and ambrosial buttocks. Most men are accredited fools shortly after they leave the womb Picture Quote #1

For a smart material to be able to send out a more complex signal it needs to be nonlinear. If you hit a tuning fork twice as hard it will ring twice as loud but still at the same frequency. That’s a linear response. If you hit a person twice as hard they’re unlikely just to shout twice as loud. That property lets you learn more about the person than the tuning fork Picture Quote #1

I’m not nearly smart enough or imaginative enough to tackle the novel form. Never happen Picture Quote #1

The truth is when I went to graduate school I would’ve said I was among the least talented of the students, I was certainly the least smart, or less educated. But I worked very hard Picture Quote #1

Every opportunity that comes your way, you can’t take lightly. You have to take it very, very seriously, because the opportunities are limited. If you want to keep working, you can’t be such an elitist, to say no, that’s not good enough, not big enough, not smart enough, whatever Picture Quote #1

Sydney is rather like an arrogant lover. When it rains it can deny you its love and you can find it hard to relate to. It’s not a place that’s built to be rainy or cold. But when the sun comes out, it bats its eyelids, it’s glamorous, beautiful, attractive, smart, and it’s very hard to get away from its magnetic pull Picture Quote #1

It’s really wonderful to work in an environment with a lot of smart people Picture Quote #1

I’m a meathead, man. You’ve got smart people, and you’ve got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb Picture Quote #1

I mean, I think a healthy country is a country where people are healthy physically, and a smart country is a country where people are educated Picture Quote #1

Women are smart in business and dumb in love. They won’t date outside their zip code, let alone outside the city. They are city snobs Picture Quote #1

Just because I don’t have a college degree doesn’t mean I am not smart! Picture Quote #1

If I go to an awards ceremony, I wear a suit, of course I do. I am proud to be there. If there are young kids looking at pictures of me, I want them to feel that they should long for the opportunity to go somewhere really smart and wear a beautiful suit, rather than to reject that Picture Quote #1

I was going to be valedictorian in elementary school, but I got into too many fights, and they made me salutatorian. I was smart back in the day. Now I’m just an idiot Picture Quote #1

When you’re a liar, a person of low moral fortitude, really any explanation you need to be true can be true. Especially if you’re smart enough. You can figure out a way to justify anything Picture Quote #1

It is never smart, even in a strong democracy, to declare some debate off limits. In a weakening democracy it is catastrophic Picture Quote #1

If something is as smart as you, do you treat it differently if it isn’t a human? Picture Quote #1

I think there are two aspects to smart environments. One is information embedded in places and things. The other is location awareness, so that devices we carry around know where we are. When you combine those two, you get a lot of possibilities Picture Quote #1

Where is it written that houses must be beige? Any dun colored house would look better if painted pineapple, cream, ochre, or even a smart sage Picture Quote #1

Was he smart enough? Introspective enough? Was it just enough to love him, or should I attach myself to someone who seemed farther ahead of me, someone smarter and more ambitious than me, who’d be sure to carry me along into the version of adulthood I thought I should be striving for? Picture Quote #1

We walk the brink of racial suicide because we were smart enough to make atomic bombs and stupid enough to use them Picture Quote #1

She was smart and funny and vulnerable and just so goddamned beautiful, the kind of beautiful that was worth being shot down over Picture Quote #1

They all trying to say something with music that you can’t say with plain talk. There ain’t really no words for love or pain. And the way I see it, only fools go around trying to talk their love or talk their pain. So the smart people make music and you can kinda hear about it without them saying anything Picture Quote #1

... Don’t feel sorry for me. I’m glad I had a second chance in life like you said to be smart because I learned a lot of things that I never knew were in this world, and I’m grateful I saw it even for a little bit Picture Quote #1

I’ve always said that you were too smart to have a profession. Smart people are hopeless in the face of anything actual. They are terrible cooks. They cannot dress themselves. They are children who need guidance and protecting Picture Quote #1

You know, there’s something heartsick about parties like this. Look at us. We’re all pretending to be smart, as if intelligence were the cure for our anguish Picture Quote #1
