Desperation is sometimes as powerful an inspirer as genius.

Summary

The quote emphasizes that desperation can be a powerful motivator, equal to the inspiration derived from genius.

You are seeking something along with God, and you are acting just as if you were to make a candle out of God in order to look for something with it. Once one finds the things one is looking for, one throws the candle away. This is what you are doing.
