Best Quotes about Genius

1.
As it must not, so genius cannot be lawless; for it is even that constitutes its genius -- the power of acting creatively under laws of its own origination.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

2.
Talent is a faculty that is highly developed, but genius commands all the faculties.
Hedge, Francis Herbert

3.
Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do.
Auden, W. H.

4.

Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

5.
Everybody denies I am a genius --but nobody ever called me one!
Welles, Orson

Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple.
Ceran, C. W.

7.
Genius is of no country.
Charles Churchill

8.

Carl Sagan

9.
Men of genius do not excel in any profession because they labor in it, but they labor in it because they excel.
William Hazlitt

What Romantic terminology called genius or talent or inspiration is nothing other than finding the right road empirically, following one's nose, taking shortcuts.

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

14.
Nature is the master of talents; genius is the master of nature.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert

15.
Genius is sorrow's child.
Adams, John

16.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
Oscar Levant

17.
To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent. To do what is impossible for talent is the mark of genius.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

18.
Accept your genius and say what you think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

19.
The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue; and no genius can long or often utter anything which is not invited and gladly entertained by men around him.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
What makes men of genius, or rather, what they make, is not new ideas, it is that idea -- possessing them -- that what has been said has still not been said enough.
Delacroix, Eugene

21.
Genius is essentially creative; it bears the stamp of the individual who possesses it.
Stael, Germaine De

22.
A man of genius has a right to any mode of expression.
Pound, Ezra

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

Great genius takes shape by contact with another great genius, but, less by assimilation than by fiction.
Heine, Heinrich

26.
Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.
Woolf, Virginia

27.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Edison, Thomas A.

28.
Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

29.
It is the privilege of genius that life never grows common place, as it does for the rest of us.
Lowell, James Russell

30.
We know that the nature of genius is to provide idiots with ideas twenty years later.
Aragon, Louis

31.
Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.
Williams, Bern

32.
The richest genius, like the most fertile soil, when uncultivated, shoots up into the rankest weeds.
Hume, David

33.
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

34.
Genius is independent of situation.
Churchill, Charles

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

43.
Real genius is nothing else but the supernatural virtue of humility in the domain of thought.
Weil, Simone

44.
What is genius but the power of expressing a new individuality?
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

45.
I'm not a genius. I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience.
Fuller, Buckminster

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

47.
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

48.
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
