Woman is soulless and possesses neither ego nor individuality, personality nor freedom, character nor will.Otto Weininger
2
Talent is hereditary; it may be the common possession of a whole family (eg, the Bach family); genius is not transmitted; it is never diffused, but is strictly individual.Otto Weininger
3
Universality is the distinguishing mark of genius. There is no such thing as a special genius, a genius for mathematics, or for music, or even for chess, but only a universal genius. The genius is a man who knows everything without having learned it.Otto Weininger
