Famous quotes containing the word talent:
“As to what we call the masses, and common men;Mthere are no common men. All men are at last of a size; and true art is only possible, on the conviction that every talent has its apotheosis somewhere. Fair play, and an open field, and freshest laurels to all who have won them!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Elvis transcends his talent to the point of dispensing with it altogether.”
—Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
“Having a talent is not enough: one must also have your permission to have it—right, my friends?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
