Because all the brilliant ones- they can sing it and they can paint it, but they can't do it. You can't expect them to love you.

About This Quote

The greatest thing about being brilliant is that you can sing, paint, write poetry, or be great at any other talent or craft. The greatest thing about being brilliant is that you can produce great things that others will admire and love. And, because of this, it's not surprising to see people who are brilliant consider themselves neglected. People who are brilliant want the world to adore them the way they adore the world.

If they are treated poorly by those who are not as talented or smart as they are, they will feel wounded and betrayed. It's no wonder that brilliant people are so often treated poorly by those who are not as brilliant as they are.
