Genius

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

Best Quotes about Genius

1.
One is not born a genius, one becomes a genius.
Beauvoir, Simone De

2.
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

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.

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

5.
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

6.
Genius is independent of situation.
Churchill, Charles

7.

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

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

11.
Every man is a potential genius until he does something.
Tree, Sir Herbert Beerbohm

12.
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

13.
The greatest genius is the most indebted person.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
Everybody hates a prodigy, detests an old head on young shoulders.
Erasmus, Desiderius

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

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

17.
We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
Huxley, Aldous

18.
The real people of genius were resolute workers not idle dreamers.
Lewes, George Henry

19.
Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
Genius is nothing more than inflamed enthusiasm.

21.
Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame.
Lydia M. Child

22.
Geniuses themselves don't talk about the gift of genius, they just talk about hard work and long hours.
Penney, J. C. (James Cash)

23.
Genius is sorrow's child.
Adams, John

24.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Edison, Thomas A.

25.
One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.
Ray, Man

26.
Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves.
Wilde, Oscar

27.
A man of genius has a right to any mode of expression.
Pound, Ezra

28.
Genius is a promontory jutting out into the infinite.

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.

30.
Genius is nothing but a great capacity for patience.
Buffon, Georges-Louis Leclerc

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

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

36.
Every person of genius is considerably helped by being dead.
Lund, Robert S.

37.
Men of genius do not excel in any profession because they labor in it, but they labor in it because they excel.
William Hazlitt

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.
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

40.
To see things in the seed is genius.
Lao-Tzu

41.
Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple.
Ceran, C. W.

42.
It is not because the touch of genius has roused genius to production, but because the admiration of genius has made talent ambitious, that the harvest is still so abundant.
Fuller, Margaret

43.
I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works.
Wilde, Oscar

44.
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

45.
Real genius is nothing else but the supernatural virtue of humility in the domain of thought.
Weil, Simone

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

47.
Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.
Edgard Varese

48.
The first and last thing required of genius is, love of the truth.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

49.
The world is always ready to receive talent with open arms. Very often it does not know what to do with genius.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

50.
Genius, like truth, has a shabby and neglected mien.
Dahlberg, Edward
