Genius Quotes
-
A taste is subtle sense and the genius is a sublime mind.
Andre Chenier
-
I have worked with countless organizations that exhaust energy adapting to the weaknesses of the leader. I had a leader announce to his/her team the other day that he/she was the smartest person in the room. It perhaps was true, but that is where self-regulation should come in. The days of one genius surrounded by a bunch of worker bees are hopefully done. I know Millennials won't buy into such a scenario.

Talent warms-up the given (as they say in cookery) and makes it apparent; genius brings something new. But our time lets talent pass for genius. They want to abolish the genius, deify the genius, and let talent forge ahead.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
Talent is able to achieve what is beyond other people's capacity to achieve, yet not what is beyond their capacity of apprehension; therefore it at once finds its appreciators. The achievement of genius, on the other hand, transcends not only others' capacity of achievement, but also their capacity of apprehension; therefore they do not become immediately aware of it. Talent is like the marksman who hits a target which others cannot reach; genius is like the marksman who hits a target, as far as which others cannot even see.
Arthur Schopenhauer
-
Genius, the Pythian of the beautiful, leaves its large truths a riddle to the dull.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
-
The world thinks eccentricity in great things is genius, but in small things, only crazy.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
-
Genius is an intellect that has become unfaithful to its destiny.
Arthur Schopenhauer
-
Genius is in the idea. Impact, however, comes from action!
Simon Sinek
-
What is genius, anyway, if it isn't the ability to give an adequate response to a great challenge?
Bette Greene
-
A genius is a person who is seeing further and probing deeper than other people has a different set of ethical valuations from their and has energy enough to give effect to this extra vision and its valuations in whatever manner best suits his or her...
George Bernard Shaw
-
I really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one. It is a title dearly enough bought by most men, to render it endurable, even when not quite clearly made out, which it never can be till the Posterity, whose decisions are merely dreams to ourselves, has sanctioned or denied it, while it can touch us no further.
Lord Byron
-
It is easy to be seen as either a genius or a crank. If you have a Ph.D., at least you somewhat lower the chances that you will be seen as a crank.
Evgeny Morozov
