““Intelligence is one of the greatest human gifts. But all too often a search for knowledge drives out the search for love. This is something else I've discovered for myself very recently. I present it to you as a hypothesis: Intelligence without the ability to give and receive affection leads to mental and moral breakdown, to neurosis, and possibly even psychosis. And I say that the mind absorbed in and involved in itself as a self-centered end, to the exclusion of human relationships, can only lead to violence and pain”

...that came immediately to mind that's not already here is Benjy from @The Sound and the Fury,. There's also things like Flowers for Algernon which seem to hit similar themes, though a little farther away from the books listed here that I'm familiar with.
