"Talk not of genius baffled. Genius is master of man. Genius does what it must, and Talent does what it can."

Life is a phenomenon sui generis, a primal fact in its own right, like energy. Cut flesh or wood how you like, hack at them in a baffled fury—you cannot find life itself, you can only see what it built out of the lifeless dust.

— Donald C. Peattie
