Only if you were lucky to be born in the right class, the one Donald Trump was born in, then of course you have a beautiful view of the world. You find that everybody else is an imbecile, because he doesn't think like you, he doesn't dress like you, he doesn't have the same girl as you, etc. But I call that ignorance.

Raoul Peck

Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile.

Albert Schweitzer

I prefer rogues to imbeciles, because they sometimes take a rest.

Alexandre Dumas

I'm technologically an imbecile. But I do use the camera phone!

Amanda Peet

An audience is never wrong. An individual member of it may be an imbecile, but a thousand imbeciles together in the dark - that is critical genius.

Billy Wilder

Censoriously asserting one's moral superiority and treating skeptics as imbeciles and deplorables wins few converts.

Bret Stephens

If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.

C. S. Lewis

God takes care of imbeciles, little children and artists.

Camille Pissarro

Lotteries, a tax upon imbeciles.

Camillo di Cavour

They are imbeciles who call my work abstract. That which they call abstract is the most realistic, because what is real is not the exterior but the idea, the essence of things.

Constantin Brancusi

The one thing an audience always has in common with a comedian is troubles. The Yiddish word for that is tsuris. You're always putting your tsuris on stage whether you like it or not. No one is untroubled, unless they're just, you know, an imbecile.

David Steinberg

As a rule, all heroism is due to a lack of reflection, and thus it is necessary to maintain a mass of imbeciles. If they once understand themselves the ruling men will be lost.

Ernest Renan

Who indeed, after pulling off the coloured glasses of prejudice and thrusting out of sight his pet projects, can help seeing the folly of these endeavours to protect men against themselves? A sad population of imbeciles would our schemers fill the world with, could their plans last.

Herbert Spencer

Some children I have met are very beautiful. Some children are imbeciles, vulgar, terrible.

Jeanne Moreau

I think Wallace Hall is an imbecile.

Joe Jamail

Far from being imbeciles, as the left would have you believe, Trump has assembled a Cabinet of the nation's best. This, of course, is unpalatable to the Washington elite, who only find worth in a long list of public sector titles.

Kayleigh McEnany

When I was young, I ran to see Astaire and Rogers, Huston, Lubitsch - they were formative for me. I also read 'Flash Gordon' when I was 6, but if I were still reading it when I was 16, I'd have been an imbecile.

Lina Wertmuller

Anti-Semites are imbeciles and delinquents.

Matteo Salvini

I'm a bit of a digital imbecile.

Matthew Williamson

Once, the world was full of mysteries, some of them frightening, some of them wonderful, some of them merely fascinating. Now, it can be a banal and predictable place, the tracks of daily life so well-beaten and defined, our culture awash with the imbecile obvious, our existence suffocating in safety. But mysteries remain.

Nick Davies

How hard it is to make your thoughts look anything but imbecile fools when you paint them with ink on paper.
