Geniuses are born, but they still have to be taught.

Geniuses are disconcerting. Their comings and goings in the ideal world give one vertigo . . . . They have a telescope in one eye and a microscope in the other.

The gods are alone, and when they stroll, by chance, on earth, they are pathological cases or buffoons, or histrions...who are despised!

I think all geniuses - or the ones thet I've run into - tend to have a faintly tenuous relationship with the real world, because so much is going on on the inside. They may be geniuses but they often need someone to walk around holding a string. They're sort of balloons, bobbing around.

I realized what you could do in motion pictures by surrounding yourself with geniuses.

Prejudice is a learned trait. You're not born prejudiced; you're taught it.
