The One-Eyed Man Quotes

“Intelligence is overrated by any species that has it, and that's provable by the fact that all intelligent species are outlived by a factor of a hundred to one, if not a thousand to one, by nonintelligent species, who don't have the brains or perversity to destroy themselves or their environments.”
― L.E. Modesitt Jr., The One-Eyed Man: A Fugue, with Winds and Accompaniment
