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

Genius can be recognized by its childish simplicity.

Genius is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.

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.")

True genius walks along a line, and, perhaps, our greatest pleasure is in seeing it so often near falling, without being ever actually down.

Genius will live and thrive without training, but it does not the less reward the watering pot and pruning knife.

There are big men, men of intellect, intellectual men, men of talent and men of action; but the great man is difficult to find, and it needs -- apart from discernment -- a certain greatness to find him.

I read that the antiChrist is distance.

Time, place, and action may with pains be wrought,But Genius must be born; and never can be taught.
