Quotes About Super-smart

As I've mentioned, I am an only child. This makes me a member of the worldwide super-smart-afraid-of-conflict narcissist club. And let me emphasize: afraid of conflict. Since I had no siblings to routinely challenge/hit me and equally no interest in playing sports, I had grown up without any experience in conflict. I therefore had no reason to imagine that confrontation of any kind, ranging from fighting to kissing, was not probably fatal.
~ John Hodgman
Libertarianism, like Marxism, is a complete explanatory system. It appeals to super-smart engineers and others who never really grow up.
~ George Packer
