Famous quotes containing the word talent:
“What a person is begins to betray itself when his talent weakens—when he stops showing what he can do. Talent, too, is ornamentation, and ornamentation, too, is a hiding place.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
““Letting go” ...implies generosity, a talent a good mother needs in abundance. Separation is not loss, it is not cutting yourself off from someone you love. It is giving freedom to the other person to be herself before she becomes resentful, stunted, and suffocated by being tied too close. Separation is not the end of love. It creates love.”
—Nancy Friday (20th century)
“A talent for drama is not a talent for writing, but is an ability to articulate human relationships.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
