Men of learning are those who have read the contents of books. Thinkers, geniuses, and those who have enlightened the world and furthered the race of men, are those who have made direct use
of the book of the world. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Geniuses quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
By ecstasy I mean inner joyousness, and by inner joyousness I mean those inspirational fires which burn within the consciousness of great geniuses, fires which give to them an inconquerable vitality of spirit which breaks down all barriers as wheat bends before the wind. ~ Walter Russell
Geniuses quotes by Walter Russell
Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it. Geniuses remove it. ~ Alan Perlis
Geniuses quotes by Alan Perlis
Great music was written by the great geniuses, and you want to do it justice. ~ Joshua Bell
Geniuses quotes by Joshua Bell
I cooked with so many of the greats: Tom Colicchio, Eric Ripert, Wylie Dufresne, Grant Achatz. Rick Bayless taught me not one but two amazing mole sauces, the whole time bemoaning that he never seemed to know what to cook for his teenage daughter. Jose Andres made me a classic Spanish tortilla, shocking me with the sheer volume of viridian olive oil he put into that simple dish of potatoes, onions, and eggs. Graham Elliot Bowles and I made gourmet Jell-O shots together, and ate leftover cheddar risotto with Cheez-Its crumbled on top right out of the pan.
Lucky for me, Maria still includes me in special evenings like this, usually giving me the option of joining the guests at table, or helping in the kitchen. I always choose the kitchen, because passing up the opportunity to see these chefs in action is something only an idiot would do. Susan Spicer flew up from New Orleans shortly after the BP oil spill to do an extraordinary menu of all Gulf seafood for a ten-thousand-dollar-a-plate fund-raising dinner Maria hosted to help the families of Gulf fishermen. Local geniuses Gil Langlois and Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard joined forces with Gale Gand for a seven-course dinner none of us will ever forget, due in no small part to Gil's hoisin oxtail with smoked Gouda mac 'n' cheese, Stephanie's roasted cauliflower with pine nuts and light-as-air chickpea fritters, and Gale's honey panna cotta with rhubarb compote and insane little chocolate cookies. Stephanie and I bonded over ~ Stacey Ballis
Geniuses quotes by Stacey Ballis
Why hire these geniuses if they're forced to stick with the script? You want to empower your actors as collaborators. ~ Shawn Levy
Geniuses quotes by Shawn Levy
As monarchs have a right to call in the specie of a state, and raise its value, by their own impression; so are there certain prerogative geniuses, who are above plagiaries, who cannot be said to steal, but, from their improvement of a thought, rather to borrow it, and repay the commonwealth of letters with interest again; and may wore properly be said to adopt, than to kidnap a sentiment, by leaving it heir to their own fame. ~ Laurence Sterne
Geniuses quotes by Laurence Sterne
Emotion apparently made fools of even geniuses. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Geniuses quotes by Karen Marie Moning
I'm fascinated by the concept of what I call 'clusters of creativity': the Brontes, the Waughs, families with several geniuses. I'm one of four; competition among siblings has to be a factor. ~ Nigel Hamilton
Geniuses quotes by Nigel Hamilton
It is a law of life that human beings, even the geniuses among them, do not pride themselves on their actual achievements but thatthey want to impress others, want to be admired and respected because of things of much lower import and value. ~ Stefan Zweig
Geniuses quotes by Stefan Zweig
But if I've learned anything, it is that goodness prevails, not in the absence of reasons to despair, but in spite of them. If we wait for clean heroes and clear choices and evidence on our side to act, we will wait forever, and my radio conversations teach me that people who bring light into the world wrench it out of darkness, and contend openly with darkness all of their days. [ ... ] They were flawed human beings, who wrestled with demons in themselves as in the world outside. For me, their goodness is more interesting, more genuinely inspiring because of that reality. The spiritual geniuses of the ages and of the everyday simply don't let despair have the last word, nor do they close their eyes to its pictures or deny the enormity of its facts. They say, "Yes, and ... ," and they wake up the next day, and the day after that, to live accordingly. ~ Krista Tippett
Geniuses quotes by Krista Tippett
Geniuses don't become geniuses until they find the right moron to compare themselves to. ~ James McGregor
Geniuses quotes by James McGregor
I think we need more math majors who don't become mathematicians. More math major doctors, more math major high school teachers, more math major CEOs, more math major senators. But we won't get there unless we dump the stereotype that math is only worthwhile for kid geniuses. ~ Jordan Ellenberg
Geniuses quotes by Jordan Ellenberg
You know, Leonard Cohen is amazing, just a mastermind, and really one of the great geniuses of our time. ~ Jake Shimabukuro
Geniuses quotes by Jake Shimabukuro
Five common traits of good writers: (1) They have something to say. (2) They read widely and have done so since childhood. (3) They possess what Isaac Asimov calls a "capacity for clear thought," able to go from point to point in an orderly sequence, an A to Z approach. (4) They're geniuses at putting their emotions into words. (5) They possess an insatiable curiosity, constantly asking Why and How. ~ James J. Kilpatrick
Geniuses quotes by James J. Kilpatrick
Do not talk about giftedness, inborn talents! One can name great men of all kinds who were very little gifted. They acquired greatness, became "geniuses" (as we put it), through qualities the lack of which no one who knew what they were would boast of: they all possessed that seriousness of the efficient workman which first learns to construct the parts properly before it ventures to fashion a great whole; they allowed themselves time for it, because they took more pleasure in making the little, secondary things well than in the effect of a dazzling whole. - FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE ~ Robert Greene
Geniuses quotes by Robert Greene
Geniuses are always marginalized to one degree or another. Someone wholly invested in the status quo is unlikely to disrupt it. ~ Eric Weiner
Geniuses quotes by Eric Weiner
I think the American system is incredibly well developed. I think the founding fathers were geniuses. ~ Marc Andreessen
Geniuses quotes by Marc Andreessen
Lenny Breau is one of the true geniuses of the guitar. I suppose he is a musician's musician. His knowledge of the instrument and the music is so vast, and I think that's what knocks people out about him. But he's such a tasty player too. I think if Chopin had played guitar, he would have sounded like Lenny Breau. ~ Chet Atkins
Geniuses quotes by Chet Atkins
I've become convinced that genius is a vastly overrated commodity. I think this country is full of geniuses, guys and gals so bright they make your average card carrying MENSA member look like Fucko the Clown. And I think that most of them are teachers, living and working in small town obscurity because that's the way they like it. ~ Stephen King
Geniuses quotes by Stephen King
To what temptations, to what extremities does lucidity lead! Shall we desert it now to take refuge in unconsciousness? Anyone can escape into sleep, we are all geniuses when we dream, the butcher the poet's equal there. But our perspicacity cannot bear that such a marvel should endure, nor that inspiration should be brought within everyone's grasp; daylight strips us of the night's gifts. Only the madman enjoys the privilege of passing smoothly from a nocturnal to a daylight existence: no distinction between his dreams and his waking. He has renounced our reason, as the beggar has renounced our belongings. Both have found a way that leads beyond suffering and solved all our problems; hence they remain examples we cannot follow, saviors without adepts. ~ Emil Cioran
Geniuses quotes by Emil Cioran
(On his Emmy nomination) I am humbled by the nomination. I got to work with a cast and writers made up of geniuses. The good news is I can finally realize my life long dream and buy my wife a solid gold speed boat. ~ Will Arnett
Geniuses quotes by Will Arnett
All kids are born geniuses, but are crushed by society. ~ Michio Kaku
Geniuses quotes by Michio Kaku
Labeled fools to the world are geniuses to the cosmos. ~ Criss Jami
Geniuses quotes by Criss Jami
What would you have me do?
Seek for the patronage of some great man,
And like a creeping vine on a tall tree
Crawl upward, where I cannot stand alone?
No thank you! Dedicate, as others do,
Poems to pawnbrokers? Be a buffoon
In the vile hope of teasing out a smile
On some cold face? No thank you! Eat a toad
For breakfast every morning? Make my knees
Callous, and cultivate a supple spine,-
Wear out my belly grovelling in the dust?
No thank you! Scratch the back of any swine
That roots up gold for me? Tickle the horns
Of Mammon with my left hand, while my right
Too proud to know his partner's business,
Takes in the fee? No thank you! Use the fire
God gave me to burn incense all day long
Under the nose of wood and stone? No thank you!
Shall I go leaping into ladies' laps
And licking fingers?-or-to change the form-
Navigating with madrigals for oars,
My sails full of the sighs of dowagers?
No thank you! Publish verses at my own
Expense? No thank you! Be the patron saint
Of a small group of literary souls
Who dine together every Tuesday? No
I thank you! Shall I labor night and day
To build a reputation on one song,
And never write another? Shall I find
True genius only among Geniuses,
Palpitate over little paragraphs,
And struggle to insinuate my name
In the columns of the Mercury?
No thank you! Calculate, scheme, be a ~ Edmond Rostand
Geniuses quotes by Edmond Rostand
Any fool can see you're a woman. Luckily, this is a school full of geniuses, so I don't think you'll have too much trouble. ~ Lev A.C. Rosen
Geniuses quotes by Lev A.C. Rosen
The greatest art comes out of warmth and conviction and deep feeling, but then, very few people, even geniuses, have all that. ~ Katherine Anne Porter
Geniuses quotes by Katherine Anne Porter
The greatest geniuses have always attributed everything to God, as if conscious of being possessed of a spark of His divinity. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Geniuses quotes by Benjamin Haydon
My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine - everybody drinks water. ~ Marilyn French
Geniuses quotes by Marilyn French
Geniuses die with people demanding more from them instead of showing gratitude for the incredible gifts they have shared. They contribute what they choose to, change the world and go on to the next one. ~ Stewart Stafford
Geniuses quotes by Stewart Stafford
The USA marketing team are geniuses at what they do. They do the right kind of thing for every medium. They're very active on social media; they're releasing videos every day up to the premiere. ~ Lennon Parham
Geniuses quotes by Lennon Parham
The rishis, who discovered the law of nonviolence in the midst of violence, were greater geniuses than Newton. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Geniuses quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left. ~ Oscar Levant
Geniuses quotes by Oscar Levant
I know of only six genuine comic geniuses in movie history; Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Groucho Marx & Harpo Marx, Peter Sellers, and W.C. Fields. ~ Woody Allen
Geniuses quotes by Woody Allen
The distinctive conditions that generated Western excellence are set to continue deteriorating so long as selection does not favor heroes, geniuses, and saints, but rather "Last Men" whose quest for personal happiness likely cannot sustain a civilization in the long run. ~ Michael A Woodley Of Menie
Geniuses quotes by Michael A Woodley Of Menie
To those great geniuses now in petticoats, who shall write novels for the beloved reader's children, these men and things will be as much legend and history as Nineveh, or Coeur de Lion, or Jack Sheppard. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Geniuses quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
This psychic wound appears to be suffered largely by men. Women writers weren't included in the Romantic roll-call, and never had a lot of Genius medals stuck onto them; in fact, the word 'genius' and the word 'woman' just don't fit together in our language, because the kind of eccentricity expected of male 'geniuses' would simply result in the label 'crazy,' should it be practiced by a woman. ~ Margaret Atwood
Geniuses quotes by Margaret Atwood
I'm aware of Yusef Lateef and Sun Ra and John Coltrane. My music cup runneth over. I try to encourage people: don't cut anything off, don't limit yourself. Give it a good listen: you might find something in that goofy Sun Ra noise, that dissonance. Before I learned 'official musicality' - which you should avoid at all costs - I listened to some Sun Ra and Yusef Lateef and John Coltrane and that's where 'Journey to the Center of the Mind' came from. When you intentionally and aggressively pursue musical communication with those powerfully impactful musical geniuses, you will pick up something. ~ Ted Nugent
Geniuses quotes by Ted Nugent
And how would he learn his history now? Imagine growing up in a world where only generals and geniuses, empires and companies, had histories, not your own town or grandfather, house or Samantha - none of the things you'd loved. ~ William H Gass
Geniuses quotes by William H Gass
Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered - either by themselves or by others. ~ Mark Twain
Geniuses quotes by Mark Twain
Rather than admire the mediocre great men over whom passersby nudge each other in awe, I venerate the young, unknown geniuses who die in their teens, their souls shattered - delicate, phosphorescent glowworms that one must see to know they really did exist. ~ Knut Hamsun
Geniuses quotes by Knut Hamsun
Sportswriters are all geniuses. ~ The Onion
Geniuses quotes by The Onion
The mistaken and unhappy notion that a man is an enduring unity is known to you. It is also known to you that a man consists of a multitude of souls, of numerous selves. The separation of the unity of the personality into these numerous pieces passes for madness. Science has invented the name schizomania for it. Science is in this so far right as no multiplicity maybe dealt with unless there be a series, a certain order and grouping. It is wrong insofar as it holds that one only and binding lifelong order is possible for the multiplicity of subordinate selves. This error of science has many unpleasant consequences, and the single advantage of simplifying the work of the state-appointed pastors and masters and saving them the labors of original thought. In consequence of this error many persons pass for normal, and indeed for highly valuable members of society, who are incurably mad; and many, on the other hand, are looked upon as mad who are geniuses...This is the art of life. You may yourself as an artist develop the game of your life and lend it animation. You may complicate and enrich it as you please. It lies in your hands. Just as madness, in a higher sense, is the beginning of all wisdom, so is schizomania the beginning of all art and all fantasy. ~ Hermann Hesse
Geniuses quotes by Hermann Hesse
We have to set our own agenda, we have to set our own standards, we have to be very strong about what we want, we have to be very strong about our passion and if it's not right for you, you shouldn't do it just because you're advised by so-called geniuses. ~ Jackie DeShannon
Geniuses quotes by Jackie DeShannon
There are no more geniuses, only critics. ~ Arnold Schoenberg
Geniuses quotes by Arnold Schoenberg
The romantic hero is also "fatal" because, to the extent that he increases in power and genius, the power of evil increases in him. Every manifestation of power, every excess, is thus covered by this "It is so." That the artist, particularly the poet, should be demoniac is a very ancient idea, which is formulated provocatively in the work of the romantics. At this period there is even an imperialism of evil, whose aim is to annex everything, even the most orthodox geniuses. "What made Milton write with constraint," Blake observes, "when he spoke of angels and of God, and with audacity when he spoke of demons and of hell, is that he was a real poet and on the side of the demons, without knowing it." The poet, the genius, man himself in his most exalted image, therefore cry out simultaneously with Satan: "So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, farewell remorse ... Evil, be thou my good." It is the cry of outraged innocence. ~ Albert Camus
Geniuses quotes by Albert Camus
His dad said even the cavemen had geniuses among them. Somebody had thought up the wheel. ~ Suzanne Collins
Geniuses quotes by Suzanne Collins
We always tend to distrust geniuses about genius, as if what they say didn't arouse much empathy in us, or as if we were waiting till some more reliable source of information came along ... ~ Randall Jarrell
Geniuses quotes by Randall Jarrell
One of the tragic ironies of history is that such original and creative geniuses as Buddha and Jesus have been extolled as perfect patterns for all to emulate. In the very struggle to be like someone else rather than to be one's own true self, or to do one's own best in one's own environment, a child is in danger of losing the pearl that is really beyond price - the integrity of his (or her) own soul. ~ Sophia Lyon Fahs
Geniuses quotes by Sophia Lyon Fahs
I'll be in an institution for paupers, happy in my utter defeat, mixed up with the rabble of would-be geniuses who were no more than beggars with dreams, thrown in with the anonymous throng of those who didn't have strength enough to conquer nor renunciation enough to conquer by not competing. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Geniuses quotes by Fernando Pessoa
They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Geniuses quotes by D.H. Lawrence
I notice that when people have no sense of responsibility, you call them either criminals or geniuses. ~ Margaret Deland
Geniuses quotes by Margaret Deland
Senior faculty nowadays similarly squirm when former 'dunderheads' return to campus to lecture on their prizewinning screenplay or to cut the ribbon for a building funded by their entrepreneurial acumen. How did such dullards metamorphose into geniuses? ~ Mark C. Carnes
Geniuses quotes by Mark C. Carnes
Salinger was not cutesy. His work was not nostalgic. These were not fairy tales about child geniuses traipsing the streets of Old New York.
Salinger was nothing like I'd thought. Nothing.
Salinger was brutal. Brutal and funny and precise. I loved him. I loved it all. pg192 ~ Joanna Rakoff
Geniuses quotes by Joanna Rakoff
We are chemosensory idiots. By comparison most other organisms are geniuses. ~ Edward O. Wilson
Geniuses quotes by Edward O. Wilson
I am thankful that geniuses and artists and good people, no matter how hard it is, will eventually be recognized. I am doubly thankful that also goes for idiots. ~ Elayne Boosler
Geniuses quotes by Elayne Boosler
Those rare individuals society labels geniuses are almost always freaks of nature and are naturally gifted rather than being diligent students who became geniuses because of their education. ~ James Morcan
Geniuses quotes by James Morcan
Every age might perhaps produce one or two geniuses, if they were not sunk under the censure and obloquy of plodding, servile, imitating pedants. ~ Jonathan Swift
Geniuses quotes by Jonathan Swift
We should like to have some towering geniuses, to reveal us to ourselves in color and fire, but of course they would have to fit into the pattern of our society and be able to take orders from sound administrative types. ~ Joseph Priestley, 1733-1804
Geniuses quotes by Joseph Priestley, 1733-1804
Ah, but prophecies have a way of fulfilling themselves,' Khayman said. 'That's the magic of it. We all understood it in ancient times. The power of charms is the power of the will; you might say that we were all geniuses of psychology in those dark days, that we could be slain by the power of another's designs. And the dreams, Marius, the dreams are but a part of the great design. ~ Anne Rice
Geniuses quotes by Anne Rice
Geniuses are commonly believed to excel other men in their power of sustained attention ... But it is their genius making them attentive, not their attention making geniuses of them. ~ William James
Geniuses quotes by William James
To give too much room to the latent feeling which is rather common in these days among the unappreciated, that because some remarkably successful men are fools, all remarkably unsuccessful men are geniuses.' 'Pretty ~ Thomas Hardy
Geniuses quotes by Thomas Hardy
Every fanatic or enemy of virtue is not at liberty to misrepresent the greatest geniuses and most heroic defenders of all that is valuable in this mortal world. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Geniuses quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Many of the people who we think of as lone geniuses were actually part of a whole scene of people who were supporting each other, looking at each other's work, copying from each other, stealing ideas, and contributing ideas. ~ Austin Kleon
Geniuses quotes by Austin Kleon
Geniuses of certain kinds - mathematicians, chess players, computer programmers - seem, if not mad, at least lacking in the social skills most easily identified with sanity. ~ James Gleick
Geniuses quotes by James Gleick
Even when they are geniuses in spite of it, their masterpieces are invariably warped. ~ Christopher Isherwood
Geniuses quotes by Christopher Isherwood
A genius is a genius, regardless of the number of morons who belong to the same race - and a moron is a moron, regardless of the number of geniuses who share his racial origin. ~ Ayn Rand
Geniuses quotes by Ayn Rand
Sex energy is the creative energy of all geniuses. There never has been, and never will be a great leader, builder or artist lacking in the driving force of sex. ~ Napoleon Hill
Geniuses quotes by Napoleon Hill
I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know. Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly. ~ R. Buckminster Fuller
Geniuses quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
All children are born geniuses, and we spend the first six years of their lives degeniusing them. ~ R. Buckminster Fuller
Geniuses quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
I was always moved by all of the music. As a young man, Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton, Count Basie and all these great musicians would come through our town of Memphis. There wasn't adequate hotels, so these musicians - the lady who ran the theater knew my mother, who had a large house, and many of them would stay with us. So that was another great blessing, so I'm always around these great geniuses, and to realize their humanity is such a touching thing. ~ Charles Lloyd
Geniuses quotes by Charles Lloyd
The Air Loom had been constructed by the Jacobins in Paris around the time of their coup d'etat in 1793. Just as they had corrupted the ideals of the Enlightenment to their despotic ends, so had they corrupted Enlightenment science. The secret of its power was pneumatic chemistry, the science of the invisible elements known as 'airs' or 'gases,' which had been developed by some of the great geniuses who had inspired the revolution. ~ Mike Jay
Geniuses quotes by Mike Jay
The key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not a divine spark. It's not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success, even in realms like chess. Instead, it's deliberate practice. Top performers spend more hours (many more hours) rigorously practicing their craft. ~ David Brooks
Geniuses quotes by David Brooks
I realized what you could do in motion pictures by surrounding yourself with geniuses. ~ Richard Donner
Geniuses quotes by Richard Donner
But earlier this week on a wooded path,
I thought the swans afloat on the reservoir
were the true geniuses,
the ones who had figured out how to fly,
how to be both beautiful and brutal,
and how to mate for life. ~ Billy Collins
Geniuses quotes by Billy Collins
I believe no one can read the history of our country without realizing that the Good Book and the spirit of the Savior have from the beginning been our guiding geniuses. ~ Earl Warren
Geniuses quotes by Earl Warren
I had often said that I would write, the wives of geniuses I have sat with. I have sat with so many. I have sat with wives who were not wives, of geniuses who were real geniuses. I have sat with real wives of geniuses who were not real geniuses. In short, I have sat very often and very long with many wives and wives of many geniuses.' Gertrude Stein wrote this in the voice of her partner, Alice B. Toklas, Stein being apparently the genius, Alice apparently the wife.
'I am nothing,' Alice said after Gertrude dies, 'but a memory of her.'
... the flashing blues and red made him look ill, then well, then ill again ... ~ Lauren Groff
Geniuses quotes by Lauren Groff
Like most geniuses, the Countess was a very limited person. Sigmund Freud was so ignorant of the art that Surrealist painters had to explain then- use of Freudian symbols over and over again, and he still didn't get it. Einstein never could remember to take the biscuits out of oven. Those same forces that drive a genius to create things or ideas that entertain or enlighten us often gobble so much of his personality that he has none left for the social graces (Should you invite Van Gogh to your home he might stand on your sofa in his muddy boots and pee where he pleased), and the very act of creation requires such focused concentration that vast areas of knowledge may be completely overlooked. Well, so what? There is no evidence that generalized skills are in any way superior to specialized brilliance, and certainly that sputter less little candle. Same of the mediocre mind known as "common sense" has never produced anything worth celebrating. ~ Tom Robbins
Geniuses quotes by Tom Robbins
Education rears disciples, imitators, and routinists, not pioneers of new ideas and creative geniuses. The schools are not nurseries of progress and improvement, but conservatories of tradition and unvarying modes of thought. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Geniuses quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
We need to develop the intuitive capacities of the brain that some geniuses have manifested over humanity's lengthy history. ~ Thomas Keating
Geniuses quotes by Thomas Keating
I went to a very academically competitive high school. So I was always quite studious and quiet, just to keep up with the other geniuses who were in my school. ~ Ben Barnes
Geniuses quotes by Ben Barnes
Geniuses don't go mad," he said. "That's what people don't understand. They get out so far out that the water is like glass and they can see for miles and see so much, and in ways people have never seen before. ~ Steven Hall
Geniuses quotes by Steven Hall
When people say that the Internet is going to make us all geniuses, that was said about the telegraph. On the other hand, when they say the Internet is going to make us stupid, that also was said about the telegraph. ~ James Gleick
Geniuses quotes by James Gleick
In literature, there are only oxen. The biggest ones are the geniuses-the ones who toil eighteen hours a day without tiring. ~ Jules Renard
Geniuses quotes by Jules Renard
Society expresses its sympathy for the geniuses of the past to distract attention from the fact that it has no intention of being sympathetic to the geniuses of the present. ~ Celia Green
Geniuses quotes by Celia Green
You know what's a great way of tricking people into thinking you're a genius? Write a show about geniuses! ~ Lin-Manuel Miranda
Geniuses quotes by Lin-Manuel Miranda
A genius that survives is the real genius. ~ Raheel Farooq
Geniuses quotes by Raheel Farooq
Does research get in the way of the story? It certainly can. Anything can, given that as writers we're all geniuses at procrastination. But mostly research teaches me about the world. Which often shows me the way, in terms of the story. ~ Jim Shepard
Geniuses quotes by Jim Shepard
The nineteenth century was the Age of Romanticism; for the first time in history, man stopped thinking of himself as an animal or a slave, and saw himself as a potential god. All of the cries of revolt against 'God' - De Sade, Byron's "Manfred", Schiller's "Robbers", Goethe's "Faust", Hoffmann's mad geniuses - are expressions of this new spirit. Is this why the 'spirits' decided to make a planned and consistent effort at 'communication'? It was the right moment. Man was beginning to understand himself. ~ Colin Wilson
Geniuses quotes by Colin Wilson
NO MUSE IS GOOD MUSE
-by Rochelle Distelheim
To be an Artist you need talent, as well as a wife
who washes the socks and the children,
and returns phone calls and library books and types.
In other words, the reason there are so many more
Men Geniuses than Women Geniuses is not Genius.
It is because Hemingway never joined the P.T.A.
And Arthur Rubinstein ignored Halloween.
Do you think Portnoy's creator sits through children's theater
matinees--on Saturdays?
Or that Norman Mailer faced 'driver's ed' failure,
chicken pox or chipped teeth?
Fitzgerald's night was so tender because the fender
his teen-ager dented happened when Papa was at a story conference.
Since Picasso does the painting, Mrs. Picasso did the toilet training.
And if Saul Bellow, National Book Award winner, invited thirty-three
for Thanksgiving Day dinner, I'll bet he had help.
I'm sure Henry Moore was never a Cub Scout leader,
and Leonard Bernstein never instructed a tricycler
On becoming a bicycler just before he conducted.
Tell me again my anatomy is not necessarily my destiny,
tell me my hang-up is a personal and not a universal quandary,
and I'll tell you no muse is a good muse
unless she also helps with the laundry.

Geniuses quotes by Rochelle Distelheim
Geniuses are their own saviors. ~ Anthony O'Neill
Geniuses quotes by Anthony O'Neill
Geniuses are at work in the rock music field, and great popularity is no proof you aren't good. ~ Christopher Ricks
Geniuses quotes by Christopher Ricks
Sometimes I miss the days when I made all the decisions myself. Then I shake it off and remember I'm infinitely better off with a bunch of geniuses deciding what I do than I am making shit up as I go along. ~ Andy Weir
Geniuses quotes by Andy Weir
The closest that either Voltaire or the other historical geniuses of the age -- Hume and Gibbon -- came to understanding unreason's creative potentialities was in their Ironic criticism of themselves and in their own efforts to make sense out of history. This, at least, led them to view themselves as being as potentially flawed as the cripples they conceived to be acting out the spectacle of history. ~ Hayden White
Geniuses quotes by Hayden White
Fathers are the geniuses of the house because only a person as intelligent as we could fake such stupidity. ~ Bill Cosby
Geniuses quotes by Bill Cosby
Ever since the days when such formidable mediocrities as Galsworthy, Dreiser, Tagore, Maxim Gorky, Romain Rolland and Thomas Mann were being accepted as geniuses, I have been perplexed and amused by fabricated notions about so-called "great books." That, for instance, Mann's asinine "Death in Venice," or Pasternak's melodramatic, vilely written "Dr. Zhivago," or Faulkner's corn-cobby chronicles can be considered "masterpieces" or at least what journalists term "great books," is to me the sort of absurd delusion as when a hypnotized person makes love to a chair. My greatest masterpieces of twentieth century prose are, in this order: Joyce's "Ulysses"; Kafka's "Transformation"; Bely's "St. Petersburg," and the first half of Proust's fairy tale, "In Search of Lost Time. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Geniuses quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Not happy with this side? Cross the other side! And here the bridges are the geniuses which can make this possible! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Geniuses quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
Geniuses must never die, the progress of mankind depends on us ~ Salvador Dali
Geniuses quotes by Salvador Dali
Geniuses can be scintillating and geniuses can be somber, but it's that inescapable sorrowful depth that shines through-originality. ~ Jack Kerouac
Geniuses quotes by Jack Kerouac
A world full of geniuses would have significant problems. ~ Haruki Murakami
Geniuses quotes by Haruki Murakami
