We hold that the most wonderful and splendid proof of genius is a great poem produced in a civilized age.

Genius worship is the inevitable sign of an uncreative age.

Genius is present in every age but the men carrying it within them remain benumbed unless extraordinary events occur to heat up and melt the mass so that it flows forth.

There is no self-knowledge but an historical one. No one knows what he himself is who does not know his fellow men especially the most prominent one of the community the master's master the genius of the age.

It seems as if an age of genius must be succeeded by an age of endeavour riot and extravagance by cleanliness and hard work.

We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age which mean never losing your enthusiasm.
