My favorite line on this subject comes from Dotty Parker, who in describing Ernest Hemingway said, “Deep down, he’s really superficial.”
“gentlemen:
chicerrili here may look like an idiot
he may sound like an idiot
her may even act like an idiot
but don’t let that fool you -
he really IS an idiot” - Groucho
Hahaha! That’s a good Dorothy Parker quote. She was good at the one-liner. (Also that fits my impression of Hemingway.)
