Best Quotes about Genius

1.
We know that the nature of genius is to provide idiots with ideas twenty years later.
Aragon, Louis

2.
True genius sees with the eyes of a child and thinks with the brain of a genius.
Thomajan, Puzant Kevork

3.
Everyone is a genius at least once a year; a real genius has his original ideas closer together.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

4.
Everybody denies I am a genius --but nobody ever called me one!
Welles, Orson

The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.
Child, Lydia M.

When Nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

7.
The divine egoism hat is genius.
Webb, Mary

8.
Genius is nothing more than inflamed enthusiasm.

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.

10.
There is no great genius without a mixture of madness.
Aristotle

11.
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

12.
What is genius but the power of expressing a new individuality?
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

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

14.
Genius is sorrow's child.
Adams, John

15.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
Oscar Levant

16.
Men of genius are not quick judges of character. Deep thinking and high imagining blunt that trivial instinct by which you and I size people up.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

17.
A genius is one who can do anything except make a living.
Adams, Joey Lauren

18.
Talent is a faculty that is highly developed, but genius commands all the faculties.
Hedge, Francis Herbert

19.
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.

20.
Genius is nothing but a great capacity for patience.
Buffon, Georges-Louis Leclerc

21.
Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what is impossible for talent is genius.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

22.
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

23.
One is not born a genius, one becomes a genius.
Beauvoir, Simone De

24.
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

25.
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

26.
There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
Seneca

27.
What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

28.
The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
Picasso, Pablo

29.
Genius is independent of situation.
Churchill, Charles

30.
The principal mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.
Koestler, Arthur

31.
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

32.
It takes a lot of time to be a genius. You have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing.
Stein, Gertrude

33.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Edison, Thomas A.

34.
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

35.
Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent -- the power to do the right thing the first time.
Hubbard, Elbert

36.
Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame.
Lydia M. Child

37.
Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds.
Samuel Butler

38.
Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.
Edgard Varese

39.
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

40.
We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
Huxley, Aldous

41.
Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.
Williams, Bern

42.
When human power becomes so great and original that we can account for it only as a kind of divine imagination, we call it genius.
Crashaw, William

43.
Who in the same given time can produce more than others has vigor; who can produce more and better, has talents; who can produce what none else can, has genius.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

44.
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.

45.
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Churchill, Winston

46.
It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.
Picasso, Pablo

47.
All the means of action -- the shapeless masses -- the materials -- lie everywhere about us. What we need is the celestial fire to change the flint into the transparent crystal, bright and clear. That fire is genius.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

48.
Genius, like truth, has a shabby and neglected mien.
Dahlberg, Edward

49.
Everybody hates a prodigy, detests an old head on young shoulders.
Erasmus, Desiderius

50.
Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves.
Wilde, Oscar
