How to use Idiot in a sentence?

1. Art Spiegelman:

   Free expression means the right to be an absolute idiot, and so I think it's important for those writers to exercise those rights.

2. Mrs Messmer:

   ‘I assure you that I will do my best to tell everyone who I speak to about the play how Fritz really was. Do you actually believe that an idiot could ever become a doctor or a dentist? I don’t. Have you ever thought about why Fritz became a complainer during the hiding period? Until the betrayal, you and the van Pels family were all together and could share your burden. Fritz was a stranger among you. Certainly you must have known how much he worried about his wife. He was all alone.’

3. Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia:

   Olga is hitting Maria,and Maria is shouting like a big idiot. A Dragoon and a big idiot.

4. Naheed Nenshi:

   You have every right to be an idiot. What you don't have the right to do is you don't have the right to harass shopkeepers, you don't have the right to scare people away from downtown and from those stores at their busiest time of year, and you don't have the right to expose your children to this. This is flagrant behaviour that puts other people at risk … we [city Council] have far better things we should be doing with our time than dealing with these people [CoVID-19 anti-mask protestors].

5. Houston Astros:

   My doctor put it very bluntly, if you want to go out in a blaze of glory and maybe blow yourself out, by all means go pitch in the World Series. But if you want to pitch a few more years like you’ve told me you want to, then you’d be an idiot to do that.
