These are taken from the “On Idiot Savants” section in New Cliches for the 21st Century. Enjoy!
All of us are idiot savants. As such, we should pursue that which we are best suited for and avoid the areas in which we are idiots.
Utopia will be achieved when most human beings get to express their true individuality most of the time.
There are those who survive no matter what happens to them. Their secret is jumping from one frying pan into the next without getting licked by the fire.
People may be stupid, but their brains aren’t.
One true sign of genius is the ability to create things that any idiot could use.
A definition of frustration: expecting a frog to fly.
