“Particular honour belongs to those who believed in the possibility of mechanical flight when all the world was against them; not the visionaries because they hoped for it merely, but those who by sheer force of intellect perceived the means by which it could be accomplished and directed their experiments along the right path. ... The name of Lilienthal is now among the most honoured, but curiously his own countrymen were the last to recognize the value of his work.” WorldMeanLastsValuesNamesForcePathPossibilityParticularIntellectExperimentsFlightAccomplishedHonourSheerVisionariesRight PathCountrymen Author:Otto Lilienthal
“You are therefore able to run on this path, on which God is found above all vision, hearing, taste, touch, smell, speech, sense, rationality, and intellect. It is found as none of these, but rather above everything as God of gods and King of all kings. Indeed, the King of the world of the intellect is the King of kings and Lord of lords in the universe.” WorldRunningAbleUniverseFoundVisionLordPathKingsTasteSpeechHearingIntellectSmellRationality Author:Nicholas of Cusa
“When handsome men or beautiful women take up the work of the intellect, it impresses us because we know they could have chosen other paths to being impressive; that they chose the path of the mind suggests that there is on it something more worthwhile than a circuitous route to the good things that the good-looking get just by showing up.” KnowsMenMindBeautifulPathGood ThingsIntellectChosenWorthwhileImpressRoutesHandsomeLooking GoodImpressiveBeautiful WomenShowing UpHandsome Men Author:Adam Gopnik
“Too, some of my teachers helped me to navigate those books, showed me the maps and paths and secret decoder rings - people like Linda Kintz and Forest Pyle and Mary Wood and Diana Abu Jaber. They didn't treat me like a messy writer girl in combat boots who had infiltrated the smart people room. They treated me like I deserved to be there, potty mouth and all, they helped make a space for me to rage and ride my own intellect. That's why I'm saying their names out loud.” PeopleBookGirlNamesMy OwnSpaceRoomsSecretPathTeacherSmartMouthsTreatsWoodsIntellectRageRingsForestsTreatedLoudMapsCombatBootsMaryMessyNavigateSmart PeopleDianaPottyCombat BootsPotty Mouth Author:Lidia Yuknavitch
“I do not believe that Obama is smarter than anybody else. I do not believe he has cut a new path and is a politician unlike any we've ever seen regarding his intellect.
