Idiots

"Now I know somethin about idiots. Probly the only thing I do know bout, but I done read up on em--all the way from that Doy-chee-eveski guy's idiot, to King Lear's fool, an Faulkner's idiot, Benjie, an even ole Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird--now he was a serious idiot. The one I like best tho is ole Lennie in Of Mice and Men. Mos of them writer fellers got it straight--cause their idiots always smarter than people give em credit for. Hell, I'd agree with that. Any idiot would. Hee Hee." -- Forrest Gump, p. 2.
