“A cat is more intelligent than people believe, and can be taught any crime.”

“<...> I’venever believed there is any animal more dangerous than a human being. I never will. It’s the intelligence. It’s the mind that makes it so.”

“Dogs are exceptionally intelligent creatures. My dog, for example, taught me that not only am I a cat person, but that it isn’t really a dog at all, but that it is in fact a cat.”

“Well, suppose intelligent people don't believe, but that's from intelligence, and you, I say, squirt that you are, what do you understand about God? You were taught by some student, and if he'd taught you to light icon lamps, you'd do it.”

“One of the great tragedies of modern education is that most people are not taught to think critically. The majority of the world’s people, those of the West included, are taught to believe rather than to think. It’s much easier to believe than to think. People seldom think seriously about that which we are taught to believe, because we are all creatures of imitation and habit.”

“Going to college don't make you from somewhere, any more than a cat born in an over can call itself a biscuit.”
