“The intellectual is an individual endowed with a faculty for representing, embodying, articulating a message, a view, an attitude, philosophy or opinion to, as well as for, a public. And this role has an edge to it, and cannot be played without a sense of being someone whose place ti is publicly to raise embarrassing questions, to confront orthodoxy and dogma (rather than to produce them), to be someone who cannot easily be co-opted by governments or corporations, and whose raison d'etre is to represent all those people and issues that are routinely forgotten or swept under the rug.”
― Edward W. Said, Representations of the Intellectual

“It’s not what you know, it’s how you think.”
― Aaron B. Powell, Quixotic

“Life is a game of common sense. You can know all the data that the encyclopedia holds, but if you can't apply it to social situations and day to day events, you're on the same rank as someone with no data at all.”
― Zack W. Van

“La gente que escribe libros rara vez son intelectuales.
Los intelectuales son gente que hablan sobre los libros que han escrito otros.”
― Françoise Sagan

“Definiciones de Mulla Do-Piaza
Intelectual: alguien que no conoce oficio.”
― Idries Shah, Caravan of Dreams

“Yo soy un escritor apasionado, no intelectual, lo que quiere decir que mis personajes tienen que adelantarse a mí para vivir la historia. Si mi intelecto los alcanza demasiado pronto, toda la aventura puede quedar empantanada en la duda y en innumerables juegos mentales.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“Ora, se me permitem, gostaria de exprimir aqui um voto: o de que chegue a este país o dia em que todos os seus habitantes sejam intelectuais, o dia em que o exercício continuado da inteligência seja, não um privilégio de poucos mas a natural realização de todos.”
― José Saramago

“Stojim na žalu i osećam kako deo moje energije izgara, kako se krnjim, gurim i smanjujem, i kako mi se opet briÅ¡e i uzima dan, dan moga trajanja, koji nije bio i dan moga života.”
― Isidora Sekulić, Saputnici

“Um dos poucos divertimentos intelectuais que ainda restam ao que ainda resta de intelectual na humanidade é a leitura de romances policiais.”
― Fernando Pessoa, Novelas Policiárias: uma antologia

“Dallas. The scriptwriters have each of the actresses in the soap opera play the death scene in the swimming pool: they do not know which of them is to die, and hence disappear from the series. The 'soap' becomes their destiny. If they should die in reality, a way is devised for writing them out of the script. If they are sacrificed in the script, their stardom inevitably comes to an end in real life too, since they are identified with the characters they play. It is the same as in a ceremony: outside the ritual, you count for nothing, but the ritual is flexible enough to make use of all the chance happenings of life. Dallas 's secret lies in its closeness to tribal and initiatory stereotypes. That is why there is never any laughter in it: no wit, no humour, no comic episodes, no happy coincidences. It is a closed world in which everything leads inevitably to fatality, perfidy, sentimental incest or magical cannibalism. Such is the tribal law, of which J.R. is the emblem, which gives rise to the desperate efforts on the part of the women to escape from this archaic trap. In its artless cruelty, Dallas is superior to any 'intelligent' critique that can be made of it. That is why intellectual snobbery meets its match here.

In a dream I saw the face of servitude. It is the face of a woman with heavy lidded, blue, expressionless eyes. The crescent shapes of her breasts are asymmetrical. She always has a smile for the poorest as she crawls off daintily towards infinity.

Boredom is like a pitiless zooming in on the epidermis of time. Every instant is dilated and magnified like the pores of the face.”
― Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories

“El intelectual es un loro; el sabio es un cuervo. Uno es repetitivo; otro es creativo!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan
