Wisdom becomes nonsense in the mouth of a fanatic.

Wisdom becomes nonsense in the mouth of a fanatic.

Summary

This quote suggests that no matter how wise or intelligent an individual may be, their words lose their value when spoken by someone who is fanatical. Fanatics are characterized by an extreme and irrational obsession with a particular belief or cause. Their narrow-mindedness and fervor prevent them from engaging in rational or balanced thinking. Hence, even wise ideas or insights, once uttered by a fanatic, are perceived as illogical or absurd due to the complete lack of critical thinking associated with fanaticism.

I have a sense of exile from thought, a nostalgia of the quiet room and balanced mind. I am a writer, and there comes a time when that which I write has to belong to me, has to be written alone and in silence, with no one looking over my shoulder, no one telling me a better way to write it. It doesn't have to be great writing, it doesn't even have to be terribly good. It just has to be mine.
