  If you want to explore Schopenhauer’s philosophy and the connection between intelligence and isolation in more depth, I’ve recommended some of the best books in my shop. You can find the link in the About section. Thanks

  The dumbest people think and act like they know everything. The smartest people accept that’s impossible to possibly know everything and are always eager to learn.

  The curse of intelligence isn’t seeing too much, it’s realizing how few want to see at all. Schopenhauer wasn’t bitter. He was just early.

  To navigate society, if you are a deep thinker, you need to know when to play dumb and when to share your thoughts. Wisdom from an 80-year-old

  Smart people don’t fit in because they question what everyone else accepts. They see patterns others ignore, and that makes people uncomfortable. <br>The smarter you are, the lonelier it feels — not because you can’t connect, but because you can’t pretend.

  People dislike me when I&apos;m silent and hate me when I speak. Especially when someone is actually listening to me. It sends them into a rage.

  &quot;Deep thinkers aren&apos;t rejected because they are wrong, but because they are right too soon&quot;. So so true.

  This guy is ripped. <br>I’m not ripped,<br>But I could be. <br><br>This guy is rich. <br>I’m not rich,<br>But I could be. <br><br>This guy is very intelligent. <br>I’m not very intelligent,<br>And I know I will never be. <br><br>That’s why people are uncomfortable with intelligent people.
