El hombre tenía tal entendimiento que ya casi no servía para nada.

But throughout history the man of intelligence and wisdom has been merely so much useless lumber in view of the State's purposes.

In any basic struggle for power, the intellectual man went under.

Intelligence is almost useless to the person whose only quality it is.

Intelligence did not figure largely in anything he did and was often conspicuously absent.

In my father's case, tragically, he was not of use.

Whatever he had learned of himself was of no avail. He was an unknown quantity.

A man of knowledge has no honor, no dignity, no family, no name, no country...

when a man is useless in every aspect of life, drop him like used sanitary pad that you’ll never use again.

He was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.

Woe to him who saw no more sense in his life, no aim, no purpose, and therefore no point in carrying on.

The trouble with him was that he was without imagination.

L'intelligence est presque inutile à celui qui ne possède qu'elle.

Not only is he not a genius; he is intellectually as undistinguished as it is possible to be.
