Quotes by Iain M. Banks: The complete collection of over 250 quotes

By: Regan, Lilith

"Empathize with stupidity and you're halfway to thinking like an idiot""I just think people overvalue argument because they like to hear themselves talk.""It's a library, only the stupid or the evil are afraid of those""Oh, they never lie. They dissemble, evade, prevaricate, confound, confuse, distract, obscure, subtly misrepresent and willfully misunderstand with what often appears to be a positively gleeful relish and are generally perfectly capable of contriving to give one an utterly unambiguous impression of their future course of action while in fact intending to do exactly the opposite, but they never lie. Perish the thought.""People can be teachers and idiots; they can be philosophers and idiots; they can be politicians and idiots... in fact I think they have to be... a genius can be an idiot. The world is largely run for and by idiots; it is no great handicap in life and in certain areas is actually a distinct advantage and even a prerequisite for advancement."
