Wolfgang Amadeus MozartNeither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
About This Quote
Whenever we hear the word “genius,” we think of a person who is gifted and creative. We think of a person who is blessed with a certain something that allows them to explore the world in new and creative ways. And, while it's true that some people are gifted with more intelligence, imagination, and creativity than others, there's no such thing as a genius without love. If you denied yourself love, if you denied yourself the little things you need to make life enjoyable and fun, what good would your intelligence and your creativity do for you? The only thing that can create genius is love - or at least that's what we think.
