Genius Quotes

Every creative genius has been a channel. Every masterwork has been created through the channeling process. Great works are not created by the personality alone. They arise from a deep inspiration on the universal level, and are then expressed and brought into form through the individual personality Picture Quote #1

The man of genius knows what he is aiming at; nobody else knows. And he alone knows when something comes between him and his object. In the course of generations, however, men will excuse you for not doing as they do, if you will bring enough to pass in your own way Picture Quote #1

To exact of every man who writes that he should say something new, would be to reduce authors to a small number; to oblige the most fertile genius to say only what is new, would be to contract his volumes to a few pages. Yet, surely, there ought to be some bounds to repetition; libraries ought no more to be heaped for ever with the same thoughts differently expressed, than with the same books differently decorated Picture Quote #1

The real artist has no pride. Unfortunately he sees that his art has no limits. He feels obscurely how far he is from the goal. While he is perhaps being admired by others, he mourns the fact that he has not yet reached the point to which his better genius, like a distant sun, ever beckons to him Picture Quote #1

Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself... Further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. The work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. To be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility Picture Quote #1

The egalitarian doctrine is manifestly contrary to all the facts established by biology and by history. Only fanatical partisans of this theory can contend that what distinguishes the genius from the dullard is entirely the effect of postnatal influences Picture Quote #1

If you are a genius and unsuccessful, everybody treats you as if you were a genius, but when you come to be successful, when you commence to earn money, when you are really successful, then your family and everybody no longer treats you like a genius, they treat you like a man who has become successful Picture Quote #1

To carry feelings of childhood into the powers of adulthood, to combine the child’s sense of wonder and novelty with the appearances which every day for years has rendered familiar, this is the character and privilege of genius, and one of the marks which distinguish it from talent Picture Quote #1

Genius is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one, and the man of talent sees two or three, plus the ability to register that multiple perception in the material of his art Picture Quote #1

Dali is like a man who hesitates between talent and genius, or, as one might once have said, between vice and virtue Picture Quote #1

The difference between being able to understand something and inventing it in the first place... Is called genius Picture Quote #1

I have learned that any fool can write a bad ad, but that it takes a real genius to keep his hands off a good one Picture Quote #1

For 37 years I’ve practiced 14 hours a day, and now they call me a genius Picture Quote #1

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see. With people with only modest ability, modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent, it is hypocrisy Picture Quote #1

Time, place, and action may with pains be wrought, but genius must be born; and never can be taught Picture Quote #1

Force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels Picture Quote #1

The world is always ready to receive talent with open arms. Very often it does not know what to do with genius Picture Quote #1

Hitler explained quietly that he wanted these things done. It is of interest that no one objected or talked back. It was law and it was genius speaking Picture Quote #1

You must have no dependence on your own genius. If you have great talents, industry will improve them; if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency Picture Quote #1

The man of genius whether as artist or thinker requires a mass of accidental variations to select from and a rigidly selective process of attention Picture Quote #1

The genius is childlike. Like children he looks into the world as into a new creation and finds there a perennial source of wonder and delight Picture Quote #1

The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius Picture Quote #1
