Douglas Adams
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Humans have always considered themselves the most intelligent species on the planet. They have built empires, wrote literature and created machines while dolphins just spend all their time playing in the sea. Dolphins, for exactly the same reasons, consider themselves to be the more intelligent species.
Moliere
- Excerpt from "The Misanthrope"
Betrayed and wronged in everything, I'll flee this bitter world where vice is king, and seek some spot unpeopled and apart where I'll be free to have an honest heart.

"Stupidity can easily be proved the supreme Social Evil. Three factors combine to establish it as such. First and foremost, the number of stupid people is legion. Secondly, most of the power in business, finance, diplomacy and politics is in the hands of more or less stupid individuals. Finally, high abilities are often linked with serious stupidity."
Ernesto Sábato
- Excerpt from "El túnel"
But in general, mankind always seemed abhorrent. I have no problems in showing that sometimes prevented me from eating all day and kept me from painting for a week to have noticed a feature; is amazing how greed, envy, arrogance, rudeness, greed and, in general, that whole set of attributes that make up the human condition can be seen on one side, in a manner of walking, at a glance. It seems natural that after a meeting so you do not feel like eating, painting, or even to live.
