Letter "G" » Genius
«No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does»
«Ridicule is the Burden of Genius.»
«No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness.»
«Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.»
«Since when was genius found respectable?»
«Society cannot contribute anything to the breeding and growing of ingenious men. A creative genius cannot be trained. There are no schools for creativeness. A genius is precisely a man who defies all schools and rules, who deviates from the traditional roads of routine and opens up new paths through land inaccessible before. A genius is always a teacher, never a pupil; he is always self-made.»
«Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.»
