When enemies, the intellect and the heart only see one another as the hater and the fool.

Pretentiousness isn't always just big words and meaningless jargon, but also pretty words that either when put into action don't mean beans or hurt you in the long run. Oftentimes, the former appeals to the intellect whereas the latter appeals to the heart.

In order to share one's true brilliance one initially has to risk looking like a fool: genius is like a wheel that spins so fast, it at first glance appears to be sitting still.

Intelligence entails a strong mind, but genius entails a heart of a lion in tune with a strong mind.

The love of conflict is most evident when opposing forces join sides to defeat the peacemaker.

In a general sense, I admit to valuing the worldviews of men under the age of 40 and women over the age of 30.
