There is no moral virtue in being endowed with genius rather than talent: it is a gift of the gods, or the luck of the genes.
AUCHTERLONIE, DOROTHY - Ulysses Bound
There is no moral virtue in being endowed with genius rather than talent: it is a gift of the gods, or the luck of the genes.
And sees beyond the fire, when trees are bare,
Intention, naked, in the leafless air.
Evil is the stone on which the good sharpens itself.
