You know, sometimes I don't understand what's wrong with us. This is just about the most creative and imaginative country on earth—and yet sometimes we just don't seem to have the gumption to exploit our intellectual property. We split the atom, and now we have to get French or Korean scientists to help us build nuclear power stations.

People tend not to use this word beauty because it's not intellectual - but there has to be an overlap between beauty and intellect. ↗
