John Stuart Mill Quotes

People Think Genius A Fine Thing If It Enables A Man To Write An Exciting Poem, Or Paint A Picture, But In Its True Sense, That Of Originality In Thought And Action, Though No One Says That It Is Not A Thing To Be Admired, Nearly All, At Heart, Think That They Can Do Very Well Without It. Unhappily This Is Too Natural To Be Wondered At. Originality Is The One Thing Which Unoriginal Minds Cannot Feel The Use Of. They Cannot See What It Is To Do For Them: How Should They? If They Could See What It Would Do For Them, It Would Not Be Originality.
