“In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts.”

“In every work of genius we recognize out own rejected thoughts'. Czyli żeby uznać coś za genialne , musieliśmy kiedyś o czymś podobnym pomysleć i bez sensu machnąć na to ręką. (...) Obiektywizm to fikcja.”

“A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.”

“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages... In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried”

“Genius is seldom recognized for what it is: a great capacity for hard work.”

“Our thoughts dictate how we feel; so it is important to recognize that we are as we think we are”
