"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function." - F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Crack-Up, 1936) "Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point." - Robert Anton Wilson "Intelligence is like four-wheel drive. It only allows you to get stuck in more remote places." - Garrison Keillor
