Here are some more words;

"The fanatic simplifies matters. He is immune to doubt and to hesitation. Intellectual exercise is distasteful, and the art and beauty of dialogue is alien to him. Other people’s ideas or theories are of no use to him. He is never bothered by difficult problems. The fanatic feels nothing but disdain toward intellectuals who spend precious time analyzing, dissecting, debating philosophical notions and hypotheses. What matters to the fanatic is the outcome—not the way leading there. The fanatic derides and hates tolerance, which he perceives as weakness, resignation or submission. He doesn’t speak, he shouts; he doesn’t listen, he is too busy yelling; he doesn’t think, he doesn’t want anyone to think."

~Elie Wiesel
