First and last, what is demanded of genius is love of truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The element of truth in the concept of genius is to be sought in the object, in what is open, not confined by repetition.
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
Genius is a grace. The true man of genius acts by movement or by impulsion.
Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.
Every complete man has his genius. True virtue is genius.
Genius always gives its best at first; prudence, at last.
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.
All genius is a conquering of chaos and mystery.
Real genius is nothing else but the supernatural virtue of humility in the domain of thought.
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.
