Ignacy Jan Paderewski Quotes About Genius

Quotes about: Genius

• Before I was a genius I was a drudge.

  Ignacy Jan Paderewski

  Genius

• I do not believe, as do so many musicians, that genius should be left to fight its way to the light. Genius is too rare, too precious, to be permitted to waste the best years of life--the years of youth and lofty dreams--in a heart-breaking struggle for bread. To starve the soul with the body is to do worse than murder. Think, too, of what the public loses!

  Ignacy Jan Paderewski

  Dream, Believe, Struggle

• The genius is the man who has genuine and deep human relations with others, who does not cut himself off in the search for originality, but who realizes the value of artistic tradition.
