„Intelligence alone doesn't mean a damned thing.“
— Daniel Keyes, buch Flowers for Algernon
Flowers for Algernon (1966)
Kontext: Intelligence alone doesn't mean a damned thing. Here in your university, intelligence, education, knowledge, have all become great idols. But I know now there's one thing you've all overlooked: intelligence and education that hasn't been tempered by human affection isn't worth a damn.

This is something else I've discovered for myself very recently.

And I say that the mind absorbed in and involved in itself as a self-centered end, to the exclusion of human relationships, can only lead to violence and pain.
„I am not only a thing, but also a way of being“
