One quote that I've never been able to figure out is Arthur C Clarke's:
'It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value. '
Both on a individual level (i.e. the ability to hit somebody over the head with a stick) and on a species-wide level (i.e. space travel/planetary colonisation) the quote is demonstrably proven wrong, and it seems strange that a science fiction writer would say something that sounds so much like anti-intellectualism.
