Quotes by James Clapper

Thirty, 40 years ago, more than that now, even, the cook was certainly at the bottom of the social scale. And any mother would've wanted their child to marry a doctor, a lawyer, an architect, not a cook. Now, we are genius, it's different.

Quotes by Jacques Pepin

All of a sudden, those few pages of script that he had shown me with the weird images I could visualize all of that in my brain, and I knew that there was this mad little genius at work here and I really wanted to do the film.

Quotes by Jack Nance

I would sing around the house, and I would always play on things just because instruments were always there, but I didn't show any genius as a child. I wasn't a prodigy or anything like that.

Quotes by Jack Garratt

Quotes by J. Reuben Clark

Quotes by J. G. Ballard

What Romantic terminology called genius or talent or inspiration is nothing other than finding the right road empirically, following one's nose, taking shortcuts.

Quotes by Italo Calvino

A man possesses talent; genius possesses the man.

Quotes by Isaac Stern

Genius is patience.

Quotes by Isaac Newton

People either think I'm this totally savage, idiot-savant genius guy who's lucked out or they think I'm a super-manipulative crafty businessman, this kind of MBA guy who's spotted a gap in the market and knows how to create a product for it. It's flattering, but I've not got that much of a gameplan.

Quotes by Irvine Welsh

Quotes by Hugh Bonneville

Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.

Quotes by Horace

Genius is initiative on fire.

Quotes by Holbrook Jackson

I think that Tyler Perry's genius really has been to tap into the domestic market. He knows what his audience is based on, having toured America for so long, and then giving them the blueprint for his films prior to the films coming out, and then the films have the built-in audience because they've seen it in theaters already.

Quotes by Hilton Als

Julius Eastman is the kind of American genius not enough people know about.

Quotes by Hilton Als

Quotes by Herman Daly

Every man is a potential genius until he does something.

Quotes by Herbert Beerbohm Tree

Quotes by Henry Golding

Susceptibility to the highest forces is the highest genius.

Quotes by Henry Adams

Genius is that which forces the inertia of humanity to learn.

Quotes by Henri Bergson

Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what is impossible for talent is genius.

Quotes by Henri Frederic Amiel

To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent. To do what is impossible for talent is the mark of genius.

Quotes by Henri Frederic Amiel

Great genius takes shape by contact with another great genius, but, less by assimilation than by friction.

Quotes by Heather Mac Donald

Quotes by Harvey Keitel

I don't think that genius goes hand in hand with being socially inept or being a sociopath or being a misanthrope, but I do think that it is a mind that can think so differently - so beyond how one is supposed to think.

Quotes by Hanya Yanagihara

It requires genius to make a good pun - some men of bright parts can't reach it.

Quotes by Hannah Cowley

Curating our data is valuable. Like 23andMe - while selling us the chance to know whether we're Vikings or whatever, they're amassing these huge DNA databases that are unimaginably valuable. Get people to pay you to add their DNA to this database. Genius!

Quotes by Hannah Fry

This adoration of an artist as a lone genius is quite misled, I think, because they are very much part of their time and their community.

Quotes by Hannah Gadsby

Genius without religion is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace; it may serve to cast a gleam of light on those that are without, while the inhabitant sits in darkness.

Quotes by Hannah More

My ultimate is Peter Sellers - his ability to go broad and somehow humanize that and be hilarious at the same time. He was just relatable, real at the same time as insane. I find Ricky Gervais absolutely hilarious. Steve Martin is another hero of mine - he's a genius.

Quotes by Hank Azaria

The simplest of women are wonderful liars who can extricate themselves from the most difficult dilemmas with a skill bordering on genius.

Quotes by Guy de Maupassant

Quotes by Gustave Flaubert

Donna Summer was such a genius.

Quotes by Grace Potter

Quotes by Gore Vidal

Andy Warhol is the only genius I've ever known with an I.Q. of 60.

Quotes by Gore Vidal

The free sharing and teaching of open source is incompatible with the notion of the solitary genius.

Quotes by Golan Levin

Your ideas and the things that you do are dumb and stupid and make no sense - until you start getting recognized and making money. Then you're a genius.

Quotes by GloZell

Ismail Merchant was just the most seductive, passionate, outrageous, driven, genius of a man.

Quotes by Glenn Close

Ryan Murphy is a genius. In terms of television, very few have been as prolific.

Quotes by Glen Powell

Men of genius sometimes accomplish most when they work the least, for they are thinking out inventions and forming in their minds the perfect idea that they subsequently express with their hands.

Quotes by Giorgio Vasari

When I had the wonderful occasion to play a goofball, Jane, in 'Coupling,' it was definitely an homage to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who I just think is a genius.

Quotes by Gina Bellman

Quotes by George Tillman, Jr.

I never paid attention to many of the Nicholas Sparks films. 'The Notebook,' which my wife liked, I felt that Ryan Gosling was a genius in it and Rachel McAdams has this thing about her that you just want to take care of her. I remember that chemistry between them.

Quotes by George Tillman, Jr.

Quotes by George Saintsbury

The cult of individuality and personality, which promotes painters and poets only to promote itself, is really a business. The greater the 'genius' of the personage, the greater the profit.

Quotes by George Grosz

Many a genius has been slow of growth. Oaks that flourish for a thousand years do not spring up into beauty like a reed.

Quotes by George Henry Lewes

Genius is rarely able to give any account of its own processes.

Quotes by George Henry Lewes

Upper berth, lower berth, that's the difference between talent and genius.

Quotes by George Gershwin

The critic is genius at one remove; he is not unlike an actor on the stage, and incarnates in his mind, as the actor embodies in his person, another's work; only thus does he understand art, realize it, know it; and having arrived at this, his task is done.

Quotes by George Edward Woodberry

You may try but you can never imagine what it is to have a man's form of genius in you, and to suffer the slavery of being a girl.

George Eliot

Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.

Quotes by Georg C. Lichtenberg

Ian Curtis was a young genius.

Quotes by Genesis P-Orridge

Quotes by Gavin Hood

When I edit, I'm not from the school of Hello, I'm a genius, so everybody shut up. I'm from the school of Let's play it once in front of an audience, and then I'll tell you where it is going.

Quotes by Garry Marshall

People call me a genius. I don't know much about geniuses. But I do believe that what I achieved was not just because of the ability that I was born with but also because I worked hard.

Quotes by Garfield Sobers

The genius of you Americans is that you never make clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves which make the rest of us wonder at the possibility that we might be missing something.

Quotes by Fulton J. Sheen

Quotes by Friedrich Schiller

The Soft Machine's 'Volume Two' inspired me heavily. That record just feels like it was all done in the same breath. It's genius, and it's silly at times. But I love the fact that every time I listen to it, I listen from the beginning and want to play it out.

Quotes by Flying Lotus

Donna Tartt is a genius.

Quotes by Fiona Barton

Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.
