No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversations as a dog does.
Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
A genius. A criminal mastermind. A millionaire. And he is only twelve years old.
Common sense is instinct, and enough of it is genius.
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
