My dear,
I don’t care about someone being intelligent; any situation between people, when they are really human with each other, produces ‘intelligence.’
I care about the ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves, and the ones who jump off hard figurative and soft metaphorical cliffs over and over again. The well-read ones, the well-learnt ones, the well-traveled ones, the well-spoken ones, and the well-heard ones.. let them go somewhere else.
Give me the candid.
Falsely yours,
Susan Sontag
