- Eoin Colfer99◆ Is a picture really worth a thousand words? What thousand words? A thousand words from a lunatic, or a thousand words from Nietzsche? Actually, Nietzsche was a lunatic, but you see my point. What about a thousand words from a rambler vs. 500 words from Mark Twain? He could say the same thing quicker and with more force than almost any other writer. One thousand words from Ginsberg are not even worth one from Wilde. It's wild to declare the equivalency of any picture with any army of 1,000 words. Words from a writer like Wordsworth make you appreciate what words are worth.
- Jarod Kintz99◆ I was walking among the fires of Hell, delighted with the enjoyments of Genius; which to Angels look like torment and insanity.
- William Blake99◆ Madness is the acme of intelligence.
- 99◆ These are the times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman.

- George Bernard Shaw99◆ Persistence. Perfection. Patience. Power. Prioritize your passion. It keeps you sane.
- Criss Jami99◆ Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.
- Oscar Wilde99◆ In order to share one's true brilliance one initially has to risk looking like a fool: genius is like a wheel that spins so fast, it at first glance appears to be sitting still.
- Criss Jami99◆ Genius inspires resentment. A sad fact of life.
- Eoin Colfer99◆ I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.
- Albert Camus99◆ Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.
