Robert ReedThe burden of intelligence: you can always imagine all those wonderful places where you can never belong.
About This Quote
The burden of intelligence is falling short of our own potential. This can be a result of most types of learning disabilities, the inability to read, or the inability to use our imagination effectively. However, it can also be a result of having what we think is good intelligence but not using it properly. We might be able to use our intelligence effectively in certain circumstances, but then we do not take advantage of the chance.
