Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Over the past ten years, for the first time, intelligence had become socially correct for girls.: Tom Wolfe (1931 - ), "Bonfire of the Vanities"
So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.: Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939)
...no man of genuinely superior intelligence has ever been an actor. Even supposing a young man of appreciable mental powers to be lured upon the stage, as philosophers are occasionally lured into bordellos, his mind would be inevitably and almost immediately destroyed by the gaudy nonsense issuing from his mouth every night.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
Mayonnaise: One of the sauces which serve the French in place of a state religion.: Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary
An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.: Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
In the beginning Man created God; and in the image of Man created he him.: "Aqualung" - Jethro Tull
The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision.: Lynn Lavner - as published in PFLAG
It is [the] belief in absolutes, I would hazard, that is the great enemy today of the life of the mind. This may seem a rash proposition. The fashion of the time is to denounce relativism as the root of all evil. But history suggests that the damage done to humanity by the relativist is far less than the damage done by the absolutist - by the fellow who, as Mr. Dooley once put it, "does what he thinks th' Lord wud do if He only knew th' facts in th' case.": Arthur Schlesinger Jr.
Very little is known about the War of 1812 because the Americans lost it.: Eric Nicol
