1 " Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. "
― George Carlin
2 " TV and the Internet are good because they keep stupid people from spending too much time out in public. "
― Douglas Coupland , JPod
3 " If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions? "
4 " What is it you do, then? I'll tell you: You leave out whatever doesn't suit you. As the author himself has done before you. Just as you leave things out of your dreams and fantasies. By leaving things out, we bring beauty and excitement into the world. We evidently handle our reality by effecting some sort of compromise with it, an in-between state where the emotions prevent each other from reaching their fullest intensity, graying the colors somewhat. Children who haven't yet reached that point of control are both happier and unhappier than adults who have. And yes, stupid people also leave things out, which is why ignorance is bliss. So I propose, to begin with, that we try to love each other as if we were characters in a novel who have met in the pages of a book. Let's in any case leave off all the fatty tissue that plumps up reality. "
― Robert Musil , The Man Without Qualities: Volume I
5 " Love is never any better than the lover. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love a free man is never safe. "
― Toni Morrison , The Bluest Eye
6 " Smart people have the brains, but stupid people have the balls "
7 " The world is full of stupid people. That's why we have rules. But with enough intelligence, a person can be above the rules. She can make rules. "
― Daniel Nayeri , Another Faust (The Marlowe School, #1)
8 " Matthew once said to me, after one of my more finely worded rants about stupid people who have the wrong opinions, " Nadia, the thing that sucks is that every time we draw a line between us and others, Jesus is always on the other side of it." Damn. "
9 " I've never been lonely. I've been in a room -- I've felt suicidal. I've been depressed. I've felt awful -- awful beyond all -- but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude. It's being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness. I'll quote Ibsen, " The strongest men are the most alone." I've never thought, " Well, some beautiful blonde will come in here and give me a fuck-job, rub my balls, and I'll feel good." No, that won't help. You know the typical crowd, " Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?" Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I've never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. I hid in bars, because I didn't want to hide in factories. That's all. Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine! "
10 " As long as there exist stupid people supporting stupid governments in their countries, people living in those countries will continue fluttering badly in the cesspool created by this utter foolishness! "
― Mehmet Murat ildan
11 " He had not even the self-complacency that enables stupid people to accept their mediocrity with unction "
12 " -I'm stubborn not stupid. There's a fine line between the two. Stupid people think they're right when they're wrong. Stubborn people know they're wrong but won't admit it. "
13 " My father used to say that stupid people think. (I really don't agree with him!) "
― Deyth Banger
14 " Obviously this person's a hazard. Stupid people are dangerous. "
― Suzanne Collins , The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)
15 " The problem with educating stupid people was that they didn’t know they were stupid. The same went for curing crazy people. "
― Chuck Palahniuk , Phoenix
16 " This is probably the advantage of being stupid. Stupid people just do. We tend to overthink. If we could eliminate the “over” and just think, then we could do, too. Only we’d be smarter doers because we’d be thinkers. "
― Sarah Strohmeyer , Smart Girls Get What They Want
17 " Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives... I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it. Suppose any party, in addition to whatever share it may possess of the ability of the community, has nearly the whole of its stupidity, that party must, by the law of its constitution, be the stupidest party; and I do not see why honorable gentlemen should see that position as at all offensive to them, for it ensures their being always an extremely powerful party . . . There is so much dense, solid force in sheer stupidity, that any body of able men with that force pressing behind them may ensure victory in many a struggle, and many a victory the Conservative party has gained through that power." John Stuart Mill ( British philosopher, economist, and liberal member of Parliament for Westminster from 1865 to 68 ) "
18 " If you want to understand what is wrong with stupid people you must be one of them. "
― M.F. Moonzajer
19 " Yeah I am stupid, as a wiseman I don't think I am a clever, but as far I see stupid people count themselves as smart and clever. "
