This is the highest miracle of genius: that things which are not should
be as though they were; that the imaginations of one mind should become
the personal recollections of another.--_Macaulay._
The path of genius is not less obstructed with disappointment than that
of ambition.--_Voltaire._
One misfortune of extraordinary geniuses is that their very friends are
more apt to admire than love them.--_Pope._
