The incompatibility of aquacity with the erratic originality of genius. — © James Joyce
The incompatibility of aquacity with the erratic originality of genius.
I happen to be a scientist. My background is in nuclear physics. I was a nuclear engineer. But I don't see any incompatibility at all with my religious faith and God the creator of everything and the incompatibility between when the earth was created as specified in the Bible. I don't see any incompatibility there because those that were interpreting God's overall message didn't know anything about modern-day science.
Originality and creativity are nothing but the result of the wise management of combinations. The creative genius combines more rapidly, and with a greater critical sense of what gets tossed out and what gets saved, the same material that the failed genius has to work with.
INCOMPATIBILITY, n. In matrimony a similarity of tastes, particularly the taste for domination. Incompatibility may, however, consist of a meek-eyed matron living just around the corner. It has even been known to wear a moustache.
The principal mark of genius is not perfection, but originality.
The principle mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.
Human nature has a much greater genius for sameness than for originality.
The principal mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.
Originality is genius. If you respect and care for it, it will take you on the ride of your life.
Let children learn about different faiths, let them notice their incompatibility, and let them draw their own conclusions about the consequences of that incompatibility. As for whether they are ‘valid,’ let them make up their own minds when they are old enough to do so.
Books only spoil the originality of genius. Very well for those who can't think for themselves - But when one has made up one's opinions, there is no use in reading.
Universality is the distinguishing mark of genius. There is no such thing as a special genius, a genius for mathematics, or for music, or even for chess, but only a universal genius. The genius is a man who knows everything without having learned it.
Young men and young women, full of courage, originality, and genius, are everywhere to be met with.
The genius is the man who has genuine and deep human relations with others, who does not cut himself off in the search for originality, but who realizes the value of artistic tradition.
Beware originality. In women fashion originality can lead to carnival.
Originality is not seen in single words or even in sentences. Originality is the sum total of a man's thinking or his writing.
Knowing how to paint and to use one's colors rightly has not any connection with originality. This originality consists in properly expressing your own impressions.
