Quote by Marguerite Blessington

Genius is the gold in the mine; talent is the miner who works and brings it out.

Genius is the gold in the mine; talent is the miner who work

Summary

This quote, attributed to American author and humorist Arthur Brisbane, highlights the relationship between genius and talent. It suggests that genius is the raw potential or brilliance that exists within an individual, comparable to the gold found in a mine. However, just as mining requires the necessary skills and effort of a miner to extract gold from the earth, talent is required to uncover and develop the genius within oneself. In this analogy, talent represents the hard work, dedication, and perseverance necessary to bring out and actualize one's innate genius.

Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.
