    • 1960, Robert Patterson, Gold is the color of blood[1], Ballantine Books, page 26:
      If you're smart enough—in Bauer's rationale—you don't have to check on the results of your smartness. It was this curiously blind sense of superomniscience that had brought about all of the man's eventual fiascos.
