ok so wat kind of mind do i hve if i discuss all of these things??
I love the idea of discussing people in events.
I discuss all three? So balanced out I guess I have an average mind.
I discuss all three also, I think anyone in this situation has an average-great mind. I like that idea!!
I <3 this quote.
Only thing is when you start to talk about ideas, people start to question if your sane.
this is true
One of my favorites during my time in highschool. I always thought people shouldn't talk so much trash about people, nothing good ever comes out of it-just have your fun making fun of others and then that's when you realize you need to get a life.
The only things which ever really captivate me are ideas. Does that make my mind great? It certainly makes me (I'm being kind to myself here) interesting.
This is a stupid quote because it makes one feel that the speaker believes herself to have a great mind (the right to actually catergorise others) whilst at the same time judging the mental capacity of others and therefore making herself small minded by her own definition.
This is the greatest quote ever. How much truth in it! It is dedicated to people who judge others for sport.
I agree, mostly everyone does all of the above, and “lynx” makes a good point of what the speaker is saying… But who’s to say minds are always in their optimal or minimal state. State of mind can change everything. Therefore I still concur with the quote in all it’s aspects! :)
I love this quote!! It is so true!
this about dinguist people in intelectual quality…..but people may change….
I love this quote!! I use it all the time :D
somewhat true…I guess..
