Freedom is the only law which genius knows.

Summary

This quote suggests that genius, or exceptional talent, flourishes under the condition of freedom. It implies that the inherent abilities of highly gifted individuals can only fully manifest in an environment void of constraints and limitations. Genius, in this context, is seen as boundless and unrestricted. It could also be interpreted as a call to respect the autonomy and independence of extraordinary individuals, as their creative and intellectual potential can best be unleashed when they are given the freedom to explore, innovate, and express themselves.
