“I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays. You can't go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has become an absolute public nuisance. I wish to goodness we had a few fools left.

ALGERNON: The fools? Oh! about the clever people of course.
JACK: What fools.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest
