"Stupidly it should not be. It should be also nice. One must get along with that. Is however not necessary"

In this quote, Karl Lagerfeld is expressing his aggravation with the idea that being dumb is somehow acceptable or perhaps preferable. He believes that it needs to not be viewed as a favorable characteristic, but rather, being great must be valued simply as much. Lagerfeld highlights the importance of agreeing others, even if they might not be the most smart. However, he likewise acknowledges that being nice is not a requirement, however rather an option. In general, Lagerfeld is promoting for a society where intelligence and generosity are both valued and focused on.
