Genius Quotes

    “A genius is the one most like himself.”

    Thelonious Monk, via The Practice

      “Everything good needs time. Don’t do work in a hurry. Go into details; it pays in every way. Time means power for your work. Mediocrity is always in a rush; but whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing with consideration. For genius is nothing more nor less than doing well what anyone can do badly.”

      Amelia Barr
