“Nothing fans me into such a state of peaceful mental somnambulance as the intellectual antics of a person who displays his learning, not from vanity always, but frequently because it is all he has got; no real sense, no wisdom of his own, merely much good stuff he has learned from other sources. He spreads it like a garment as any other decent person would to hide the thinness of his shanks.” PersonsRealStatesStuffFansSourceIntellectualSpreadPeacefulVanityDecentDisplayBoresGarmentsAnticsThinnessShank Author:Corra May Harris
“I remember being very smart, which is a form of stupidity. I try not to remember it, but it occurs to me that I may have felt intellectual. I entertained views too noble or too bitter to be true. I must have done some soul-stretching of my mental neck.” TryingMaySoulDoneRememberFormFeltViewsIntellectualSmartStupidityNobleBitterBeing TrueNecksStretchingVery Smart Author:Corra May Harris
