The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Women who have strong identities, who know themselves, really inspire me.
Genius is the ability to put into effect what is on your mind.
In Paris, I met a young American person who immediately became the primary inspiration which awakened my vision and the leading influence that had directed my forces. Throughout my career as an artist, I refer to this person by the word 'Woman.'
Genius: the superhuman in man.
I believe my love of beauty and my ability to see what works is a gift I was given by God.
I am a woman of many talents and they're all just pieces of the puzzle that make me and make my career.
I gravitate towards roles where women find strength in very difficult, uncompromising situations but maintain clarity in mind, discipline at heart, and a certain strength in spirit.
Genius is a grace. The true man of genius acts by movement or by impulsion.
No woman has ever been an authentic genius of the stature of men, but that does not enrage me.
Genius of a kind has always been with me; an empty heart that has taken on a certain wooden quality; an excellent, strong woman's body and a pitiably starved soul.
