As homer says Camus can do but Sartre is smartre

i liked your quote, but i think it was jay who said that sentence.
homer said: "yeah well, Scooby Doo can doo-doo but jimmy carter is smarter".

anyway, warren said it all i think.
but remeber - don't show off your smarts, it makes other people feel bad/angry.

talk only about things that the other person knows about, or have a good point.
if you'd start explaining S.R. to some girl in a bar the conversation would end pretty quickly.
but if you'd insert a funny and witty remark that anyone would understand it would be fine... and don't be too artificial when inserting a remark, it's better to say nothing then to talk out of context just to show you got something to say.

Write a book on how to be smart. It doesn't matter whether you actually know how to be smart or not. If you wrote a book on it, people will think you know something about it. Thus, you'll appear smart.
