An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

-Charles Bukowski

“When a dog is barking, there's no wisdom in barking back. When people start talking obnoxiously and ignorantly the worst thing you can do is respond. We have to learn to recognize a bark for a bark and an intellectual criticism as an intellectual criticism.”

—Nouman Ali Khan.

“An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. "Can they be brought together?" This is a practical question. We must get down to it. "I despise intelligence" really means: "I cannot bear my doubts.”

—Albert Camus
