Man könnte sagen: „Genie ist Mut im Talent.”
--
One might say: Genius is talent exercised with courage.

» Ludwig Wittgenstein - all quotes »
Der Satan der italienischen und englischen Dichter mag poetischer sein; aber der deutsche Satan ist satanischer; und insofern könnte man sagen, der Satan sei eine deutsche Erfindung.
Friedrich Schlegel
Un livre n'est jamais un chef-d'?uvre, il le devient. Le génie est le talent d'un homme mort.
Goncourt brothers
L'homme qui peut empreindre perpétuellement la pensée dans le fait est un homme de génie; mais l'homme qui a le plus de génie ne le déploie pas ? tous les instants, il ressemblerait trop ? Dieu.
Honore de Balzac
Not a single thing do I remember from the first trip but this: the sense of the place, the savor of the genie-soul of the place which every place has or else is not a place...there it is as big as life, the genie-soul of the place which, wherever you go, you must meet and master first thing or be met and mastered. (4.3)
Walker Percy
Take me as an example. I happen to have a talent for allocating capital. But my ability to use that talent is completely dependent on the society I was born into. If I'd been born into a tribe of hunters, this talent of mine would be pretty worthless. I can't run very fast. I'm not particularly strong. I'd probably end up as some wild animal's dinner.
