Definitely! In a stable full of horses he stands out as a genius. Unless Mr. Ed happens to be in the stable. Then he's still a moron.

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
― Charles Bukowski

When death is ready to take over, it'll say, "you done good!" And, I'll smile before my last breath.
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
