Clever People Quotes

I was the subject of an experiment in love. I lived my life under her gaze, undergoing certain trials for her so that she would not have to undergo them for herself.

Most people tire of a lecture in ten minutes; clever people can do it in five. Sensible people never go to lectures at all.

What is scandalous is not that stupid people should sometimes inherit private incomes; but that clever people should sometimes not Picture Quote #1

There are no circumstances, however unfortunate, that clever people do not extract some advantage from Picture Quote #1

I have always thought it rather interesting to follow the involuntary movements of fear in clever people. Fools coarsely display their cowardice in all its nakedness, but the others are able to cover it with a veil so delicate, so daintily woven with small plausible lies, that there is some pleasure to be found in contemplating this ingenious work of the human intelligence Picture Quote #1
