Walter de La Mare

It is hard to write a simple definition of something as varied as hacking, but I think what these activities have in common is playfulness, cleverness, and exploration. Thus, hacking means exploring the limits of what is possible, in a spirit of playful cleverness. Activities that display playful cleverness have "hack value".

Richard Stallman

Rumi

Never treat somebody’s cleverness as his life’s smartness. Cleverness is to hide the weakness and the smartness is to project the strength of his weakness.

Anuj

The disease having been caused by allowing cleverness to displace wisdom, no amount of clever research is likely to produce a cure.

E. F. Schumacher
