If you study a great work of art, you'll probably find the artist was a kind of genius. And geniuses are different to you and me.

Image
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
