Do all the work you can; that is the whole philosophy of the good way of life. — Eugene Delacroix. French painter (1798–1863)
The source of genius is imagination alone, the refinement of the senses that sees what others do not see, or sees them differently.
What makes men of genius, or rather, what they make, is not new ideas, it is that idea - possessing them - that what has been said has still not been said enough.
