— The Uses of Intelligence, by Caroline Kizer, 1959.

#I really loved this one... gave me such a more fond and expanding perspective of intelligence. #One of my favorite things I've read this month. #So many intellects exists; and yet their attitude towards it can entirely rearrange what intelligence even means- #-and how it takes form. Either in their life or to them or their work and arts. Etcetera... #I've never really thought about intelligence within the context of your attitude towards it and how you specifically equip it; we're sort- #-of taught that intelligence is amalgamated all into this one thing but it's often much broader than that in practice. #And that's just so fascinating...
