"To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in
your private heart is true for all . . . that is genius . . . a man
should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes
across his mind from within, more than the luster of the firmament of
bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because
it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected
thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty."
Emerson
