We should like to have some towering geniuses to reveal us to ourselves in colour and fire but of course they would have to fit into the pattern of our society and be able to take orders from sound administrative types.

Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors.

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite just many people doing things that build on eachother like a wall of mini stones.

They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates.

No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.

Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

Intellectuals solve problems geniuses prevent them.

I've run into certain geniuses of individualism - they are very few and far between - who live their lives completely on their own terms they are very powerful and have a great amount of happiness. We all should aspire to that.
