If you want to test whether you possess the highest level of intelligence,

see whether you can hold two opposing ideas in your mind and still think normally.

We must be able to recognize despair,

and at the same time be resolved to turn that hopeless situation around.


- F. Scott Fitzgerald, from <The Crack-Up>

This English version was translated by Claude.
