Zitat des Tages über Wahres Genie / True Genius:
When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and destroying it essentially! I like the idea of bringing it down to earth a bit - and even a bit lower than that.
The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.
To sentence a man of true genius, to the drudgery of a school is to put a racehorse on a treadmill.
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Every true genius is bound to be naive.
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.
