“If by intellectual you mean somebody who works only with his head and not with his hands, then the bank clerk is an intellectual and Michelangelo is not.”
-Umberto Eco
“In the political jargon of those days, the word “intellectual” was an insult. It indicated someone who did not understand life and was cut off from the people”
-Milan Kundera
Really nice style and good written content:D.
