Best Quotes about Genius
All of us, you, your children, your neighbors and their children are everyday geniuses, even though the fact is unnoticed and unremembered by everyone. That's probably because school hasn't encouraged us to notice what's hidden inside us waiting for the right environment to express itself.
Kline, Peter
Genius is nothing but a great capacity for patience.
Buffon, Georges-Louis Leclerc
Genius sits in a glass house -- but in an unbreakable one --conceiving ideas. After giving birth, it falls into madness. Stretches out its hand through the window toward the first person happening by. The demon's claw rips, the iron fist grips. Before, you were a model, mocks the ironic voice between serrated teeth, for me, you are raw material to work on. I throw you against the glass wall, so that you remain stuck there, projected and stuck. (Then come the lovers of art and contemplate the bleeding work from outside. Then come the photographers. New art, it says in the newspaper the following day. The learned journals give it a name that ends in ism.)
Klee, Paul
Everyone is a genius at least once a year; a real genius has his original ideas closer together.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
Genius goes around the world in its youth incessantly apologizing for having large feet. What wonder that later in life it should be inclined to raise those feet too swiftly to fools and bores.
A man of genius has a right to any mode of expression.
Pound, Ezra
Genius is sorrow's child.
Adams, John
Talent is a faculty that is highly developed, but genius commands all the faculties.
Hedge, Francis Herbert
True genius sees with the eyes of a child and thinks with the brain of a genius.
Thomajan, Puzant Kevork
One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.
Ray, Man
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Edison, Thomas A.
The first and last thing required of genius is, love of the truth.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
We know that the nature of genius is to provide idiots with ideas twenty years later.
Aragon, Louis
Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what is impossible for talent is genius.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have is this. When I have a subject in mind. I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it... the effort which I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.
Hamilton, Alexander
There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
Seneca
The greatest genius is the most indebted person.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Coffee is good for talent, but genius wants prayer.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Everybody hates a prodigy, detests an old head on young shoulders.
Erasmus, Desiderius
Genius... means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an inhabitual way.
James, William
Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do.
Auden, W. H.
But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
Carl Sagan
Genius, like truth, has a shabby and neglected mien.
Dahlberg, Edward
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
What is genius but the power of expressing a new individuality?
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
The function of genius is not to give new answers, but to pose new questions which time and mediocrity can resolve.
Trevor-Roper, H. R.
Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves.
Wilde, Oscar
There is no great genius without a mixture of madness.
Aristotle
Everybody denies I am a genius --but nobody ever called me one!
Welles, Orson
Saying that a great genius is mad, while at the same time recognizing his artistic worth, is like saying that he had rheumatism or suffered from diabetes. Madness, in fact, is a medical term that can claim no more notice from the objective critic than he grants the charge of heresy raised by the theologian, or the charge of immorality raised by the police.
Joyce, James
Better beware of notions like genius and inspiration; they are a sort of magic wand and should be used sparingly by anybody who wants to see things clearly.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
What Romantic terminology called genius or talent or inspiration is nothing other than finding the right road empirically, following one's nose, taking shortcuts.
Calvino, Italo
Rising genius always shoots out its rays from among the clouds, but these will gradually roll away and disappear as it ascends to its steady luster.
Irving, Washington
Genius is of no country.
Charles Churchill
Accept your genius and say what you think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
It takes a lot of time to be a genius. You have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing.
Stein, Gertrude
Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.
Williams, Bern
Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.
Edgard Varese
Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple.
Ceran, C. W.
The richest genius, like the most fertile soil, when uncultivated, shoots up into the rankest weeds.
Hume, David
He was a genius - that is to say, a man who does superlatively and without obvious effort something that most people cannot do by the uttermost exertion of their abilities.
Robertson Davies
The real people of genius were resolute workers not idle dreamers.
Lewes, George Henry
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Churchill, Winston
To see things in the seed is genius.
Lao-Tzu
One is not born a genius, one becomes a genius.
Beauvoir, Simone De
Real genius is nothing else but the supernatural virtue of humility in the domain of thought.
Weil, Simone
Men of genius do not excel in any profession because they labor in it, but they labor in it because they excel.
William Hazlitt
