Skill follows the rules, talent breaks the rules, mastery shatters the rules, but genius makes its own rules.

About This Quote

The various kinds of talent are not equal, nor are there equal rules for all kinds. Some individuals have more skill than others, but talented individuals do not always follow the rules. Masterful people break the rules of the game, but they also create their own rules, new ways of thinking and doing things. They are not simply breaking the rules, they are making them.
