Famous quotes containing the words intellectual and/or property:
“Beware the artist who’s an intellectual also. The artist who doesn’t fit.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Strange and predatory and truly dangerous, car thieves and muggers—they seem to jeopardize all our cherished concepts, even our self-esteem, our property rights, our powers of love, our laws and pleasures. The only relationship we seem to have with them is scorn or bewilderment, but they belong somewhere on the dark prairies of a country that is in the throes of self-discovery.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
