“Empathize with stupidity and you’re halfway to thinking like an idiot.”
― Iain M. Banks

“But it was pointless, it was stupid; he thought about thoughtless things. If I were a seabird . . . but how could you be a seabird? If you were a seabird your brain would be tiny and stupid and you would love half-rotted fish guts and tweaking the eyes out of little grazing animals; you would know no poetry and you could never appreciate flying as fully as the human on the ground yearning to be you.
If you wanted to be a seabird you deserved to be one.”
― Iain M. Banks, Use of Weapons

“I just think people overvalue argument because they like to hear themselves talk.”
― Iain M. Banks, Use of Weapons
