"Three-quarters of the sicknesses of intelligent people come from their intelligence. They need at least a doctor who can understand this sickness"

- Marcel Proust

About this Quote

This quote by Marcel Proust suggests that intelligence can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can be a great property, allowing people to think critically and fix complex issues. On the other hand, it can likewise be a source of suffering, as intelligent people typically overthink and stress over things that may not deserve stressing over. Proust recommends that smart people require a medical professional who can understand this type of "illness" and offer the needed care and support. This might include assisting them to manage their tension levels, offering them with techniques to deal with anxiety, and helping them to focus on the favorable aspects of their lives. Ultimately, Proust's quote acts as a suggestion that intelligence can be both a true blessing and a curse, and that it is very important to look for aid when required.
