Adversity is the midwife of genius.

One must indeed be ignorant of the methods of genius to suppose that it allows itself to be cramped by forms.

True heroism consists in rising superior to misfortune.

A genius is a person who is seeing further and probing deeper than other people has a different set of ethical valuations from their and has energy enough to give effect to this extra vision and its valuations in whatever manner best suits his or her.

Sticking to it is the genius.

Genius is not inspired. Inspiration is perspiration.
