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.
