Intellectual elegance [is] a mind that is continually refining itself with education and knowledge. Intellectual elegance is the opposite of intellectual vulgarity.

Massimo Vignelli

The intellectual is not defined by professional group and type of occupation. Nor are good upbringing and a good family enough in themselves to produce an intellectual. An intellectual is a person whose interest in and preoccupation with the spiritual side of life are insistent and constant and not forced by external circumstances, even flying in the face of them. An intellectual is a person whose thought is nonimitative.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Marilyn Monroe

I think that a failure of statistical thinking is the major intellectual shortcoming of our universities, journalism and intellectual culture.

Steven Pinker

To me, being an intellectual doesn't mean knowing about intellectual issues; it means taking pleasure in them.

Jacob Bronowski

I am not an intellectual. An intellectual is someone who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso, whereas I just say 'pass the mustard'.
