Frequently Asked Questions

What angle do these "smart" quotes take?
They look at "smart" from a few angles — sizing someone up by comparison, admiring roommates' intelligence, quoting an anonymous wise saying, and describing how something can look smart on the surface.
Is there a quote comparing someone's intelligence to a child's?
Yes — one quote compares a public figure, Slobodan Milosevic, saying he "was just as smart as a five-year-old," and adds that "Five-year-olds have an uncanny way of getting into your psyche, your self-esteem." It's presented here exactly as that speaker's own comparison.
Is there a quote about living with smart people?
There is. One speaker recalls living with "Harvard MD/PhD students" who "were so smart," while joking that their own role in the house was being "the funny one."
Is there a quote quoting someone else's wisdom?
Yes — one line begins, "Some smart man once said that on the most exalted throne in the world, we are seated on nothing but our own arse," passing along a saying about humility. Find more on our Great quotes page.
Is there a quote about things that look smart but aren't necessarily better?
