To destroy the passions and desires, merely in order to protect oneself against their stupidity and the disagreeable consequences of their stupidity, seems to us today to be itself an acute form of stupidity.

Sürükledikleri aptalca sonuçlardan korunmak için tutku ve arzuları köstekleme çabası, bugün bize öyle görünüyor ki aptallığın bizzat dik alasıdır.
aptallarla tartışmayın diyor kısaca
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people infallibly turns out to be a costly mistake.
"her toplumdaki aptal oranı aynıdır. farkı yaratan bunlara verilen pozisyonlardır."
Stupidity is awful. It is an evil fairy, bewitching the world. I don't like stupid people, because stupidity is idleness. Stupidity is when you live and say to yourself "that's enough, I live, I'm fine", when you don't kick yourself in the ass every morning saying "it's not enough", "you don't know enough, you don't see enough, you don't do enough". Stupidity is idleness. A kind of grease around the heart. A kind of grease around the brain.
Jacques Brel
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person. A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
The minute you start saying something, ‘Ah, how beautiful! We must photograph it!’ you are already close to the view of the person who thinks that everything that is not photographed is lost, as if it had never existed, and that therefore, in order really to live, you must photograph as much as you can, and to photograph as much as you can you must either live in the most photographable way possible, or else consider photographable every moment of your life. The first course leads to stupidity; the second to madness."
"Your god might save you from many things," Fergus said, "but he won't save you from stupidity."
