Famous quotes containing the words human and/or intelligence:
“Andrews: Do you love her?
Peter: A normal human being couldn’t live under the same roof with her without going nutty. She’s my idea of nothing!
Andrews: I asked you a simple question. Do you love her?
Peter: Yes! But don’t hold it against me. I’m a little screwy myself.”

“Nota: man is the intelligence of his soil,
The sovereign ghost. As such, the Socrates
Of snails, musician of pears, principium
And lex. Sed quæritur: is this same wig
Of things, this nincompated pedagogue,
Preceptor to the sea?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
