On Morons, by F. Scott Fitzgerald

"The reason that morons can stand good entertainment is that they don't like to understand all the time.  Like a nurse or child at a sophisticated lunch table.  Something they could follow all through is a stirring nervous experience for them.  Through a good picture they can drowse-as morons always drowse mentally through great events."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald
