There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

About This Quote

There’s a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line. When asked, "which is worse: to be the best at everything or to be the best at nothing?" Albert Einstein replied that, “There’s a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.” Of course, the “fine line” is quite real and not something you can erase entirely. But, as Einstein seems to imply, there are those who do such exceptional work that they seem like geniuses (or delusional madmen).
