Genius Quotes

Intellect is a fire; rash and pitiless it melts this wonderful bone-house which is called man. Genius even, as it is the greatestgood, is the greatest harm Picture Quote #1

So excited for the Apple Watch. For centuries, we’ve checked the time by looking at our phones. Having it on your wrist? Genius Picture Quote #1

I do not believe, as do so many musicians, that genius should be left to fight its way to the light. Genius is too rare, too precious, to be permitted to waste the best years of life--the years of youth and lofty dreams--in a heart-breaking struggle for bread. To starve the soul with the body is to do worse than murder. Think, too, of what the public loses! Picture Quote #1

While the world may feel entitled and have the power to pronounce an individual crazy, are there times when the innocent genius, the insightful individual or just the old grandmother may reasonably declare the world to be mad? Probably, but what hope or happiness would such an individual have? Picture Quote #1

Well, Bradbury’s a genius. Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favorite books of all time, and The Illustrated Man as a collection of short stories ranks up there. When you read it you realize how influential it is on so many other stories and people Picture Quote #1

As Baudelaire said it so beautifully, Emma Bovary is an androgynous character. She cannot be reduced to a gender or a sociological type. She represents something bigger than herself. That was the genius of Flaubert: the ability to combine the general and the particular Picture Quote #1

When I was younger I would have told you it was my genius, but now I don’t believe that for a second. Music just comes out of you, it flows through, it’s weird. If you think about it intellectually, how does someone come up with two hundred riffs over their life time? Picture Quote #1

Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent - the power to do the right thing the first time Picture Quote #1

Genius is the ability to see the self-evident where the rest of the world turns blind Picture Quote #1

From every ancient source, we have testimony to Cleopatra’s irresistible charm, as Plutarch has it, to her ability to speak many languages including, as he puts it, the language of flattery and essentially, to be able to turn people to her will - really a great political genius, in that respect Picture Quote #1

Genius is answerable only to itself; it is the sole judge of the means, since it alone knows the end; thus genius must consider itself as above the law, for it is the task of genius to remake the law; moreover the man who frees himself from his time and place may take everything, hazard everything, for everything is his by right Picture Quote #1

Sesame Street’s’ genius lies in finding gentle ways to talk about hard things - death, divorce, danger - in terms that children understand and accept Picture Quote #1

Your beliefs have the power to unlock your inner genius or keep you from fully achieving your greatest potential Picture Quote #1

Kings had their clowns, the people their actors and musicians. Shakespeare was scheduled as a servant. It is thus that successful stupidity has always treated genius Picture Quote #1

No, I don’t admire the genius. But I admire and love the result of the genius’s activity in the world, of which the great man is only the poor necessary tool, only, so to speak, the paltry awl to bore with Picture Quote #1

There are very few men of genius in advertising agencies. But we need all we can find. Almost without exception they are disagreeable. Don’t destroy them. They lay golden eggs Picture Quote #1

Affirmative action based on quotas is wrong - wrong because it is antithetical to the genius of the American idea: individual liberty Picture Quote #1

I can’t say I’m not grateful to have journalists writing about me as a genius. But I know it’s not true. I’m not confused. I understand that success comes through a lot of failure and a lot of very embarrassing failure. People want to create the next Facebook, but they are too afraid to create the next Facemash Picture Quote #1

He was a kid who was capable of embodying all of the high possibilities and the deep griefs that besieged the African American psyche Picture Quote #1

Ox, at an early age a Chinese genius gazes at the path that lies ahead and reaches for a wine jar, Master Li saidIs it any wonder that our greatest men have lurched rather than walked across the landscape as they hiccuped their way into history? Picture Quote #1

Lord of the golden tongue and smiting eyes; Great out of season and untimely wise: A man whose virtue, genius, grandeur, worth, Wrought deadlier ill than ages can undo Picture Quote #1

So, okay, I’m not a genius. Vincent Van Gogh and Albert Einstein were geniuses Picture Quote #1

I remembered watching the film from Alfred Hitchcock, ‘Dial M for Murder,’ and he shot almost all of that movie in one room. There was a genius in what Hitchcock did by manipulating things in that room so that you could see the distances between things like the tables and the vases because of how he used perspective Picture Quote #1

There are some good teachers out there, but the only one who is a genius at diagnosing my swing is my mom. She took up golf late, when she was 39, but in her younger days, she was an amazing athlete. She never read an instruction book or took lessons, but she has a remarkable eye for motion Picture Quote #1
