"One of the great errors of an elite education in the United States was that it taught those attending to think that intelligence and academic achievement were measures of value in some moral or metaphysical sense, equating their value with their education. Further, there are many types of intelligence, but the ones supported were academic in scope. There was little understanding of the value of social, emotional, and artistic intelligence. Those who had intellectual intelligence promulgated their type at the expense of others."
Michael Anderle in the novel "Payback Is A Bitch"

Okay, first off let me say that there's no guarantee that all of these quotes are genuine. And I dont really care, quite frankly. This blog is devoted to quotes, good quotes containing good ideas that make sense of some sort to me. I call them "quotes" because they don't come from my own head, but from other sources, and I have a passion for accuracy (or something like that). Also, 'cause I sure do love me some quotes.
Sure, it's silly to require some sort of Authority to validate good words and thoughts (assuming the quote is real, of course), but that doesn't make the words and thoughts any the less for that. So I put them here, in this blog, for my own reference and the edification of passers-by.
