The step between prudence and paranoia is short and steep. prudence wears a seat belt. paranoia avoids cars. prudence washes with soap. paranoia avoids human contact. prudence saves for old age. paranoia hoards even trash. prudence prepares and plans, paranoia panics. prudence calculates the risk and takes the plunge. paranoia never enters the water.

Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself. . . . further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. the work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. to be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility.

Either i'm a genius or i'm mad, which is it? "no," i said, "i can't be mad because nobody's put me away; therefore i'm a genius." genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. but i used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. but if there's such a thing as genius - i am one. and if there isn't, i don't care.
