Stael, Germaine De

38.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enoughto think they can change the world
Are the ones who do.
Apple Computer

39.
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Churchill, Winston

40.
Nothing is so envied as genius, nothing so hopeless of attainment by labor alone. Though labor always accompanies the greatest genius, without the intellectual gift labor alone will do little.
Hayden, B. R.

41.
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

42.
One is not born a genius, one becomes a genius.
Beauvoir, Simone De

43.
Genius is of no country.
Charles Churchill

44.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Edison, Thomas A.

45.
There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
Seneca

46.
The principal mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.
Koestler, Arthur

47.
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

48.
Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.
Edgard Varese

49.
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

50.
The drafts which true genius draws upon posterity, although they may not always be honored so soon as they are due, are sure to be paid with compound interest in the end.
Colton, Charles Caleb
