Genius creates, and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius; without taste, genius is only sublime folly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Taste is the common sense of genius.
Taste is the fundamental quality which sums up all the other qualities. It is the nec plus ultra of the intelligence. Through this alone is genius the supreme health and balance of all the faculties.
Genius is essentially creative; it bears the stamp of the individual who possesses it.
Intelligence is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.
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.
Genius is the very eye of intellect and the wing of thought; it is always in advance of its time, and is the pioneer for the generation which it precedes.
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Genius is the talent of a person who is dead.
Genius is the ability to put into effect what is on your mind.
Taste is the feminine of genius.
