Ideas Genius Crippled

More From Stephen Hawking

Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself. . . . further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. the work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. to be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility.
Music Philosophy Useless
Now i know surely and forever, however much i have blotted our waking love, its memory is still there. and i know the web, the net, the blind and crippled bird. for then, for one brief instant it was not blind, nor trapped, not crippled. for one heart beat the heart was free and moved itself. o love, i who am lost and damned with words, whose words are a business and an art, i have no words. these words, this poem, this is all confusion and ignorance. but i know that coached by your sweet heart, my heart beat one free beat and sent through all my flesh the blood of truth.
Life Sweet Art
I happen to be a devout atheist. i don't believe in god. i still go to church -- i'm not a heathen. i go to an atheist church. we have crippled guys who stand up and testify that they were crippled, and they still are.

Either i'm a genius or i'm mad, which is it? "no," i said, "i can't be mad because nobody's put me away; therefore i'm a genius." genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. but i used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. but if there's such a thing as genius - i am one. and if there isn't, i don't care.

Pictures are the idea in visual or pictorial form; and the idea has to be legible, both in the individual picture and in the collective context - which presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. however, none of this means that pictures function as illustrations of an idea: ultimately, they are the idea. nor is the verbal formulation of the idea a translation of the visual: it simply bears a certain resemblance to the meaning of the idea. it is an interpretation, literally a reflection.
Art Mean Reflection
Animals are like autistic savants. in fact, i'd go so far as to say that animals might actually be autistic savants. animals have special talents normal people don't, the same way autistic people have special talents normal people don't; and at least some animals have special forms of genius normal people don't, the same way some autistic savants have special forms of genius. i think most of the time animal genius probably happens for the same reason autistic genius does: a difference in the brain autistic people share with animals.

I never sleep alone. if there is no one to sleep next to, i'll sleep next to a stuffed animal. it makes me feel secure and safe. it's a little embarrassing to admit it; i'm an old man now. it's important to me though.

The alcoholic trance is not just a haze, as though the eyes were also unshaven. it is not a mere buzzing in the ears, a dizzinessor disturbance of balance. one arrives in the garden again, at nursery time, when the gentle animals are fed and in all the world there are only toys.

The trade of chemist (fortified, in my case, by the experience of auschwitz), teaches you to overcome, indeed to ignore, certain revulsions that are neither necessary or congenital: matter is matter, neither noble nor vile, infinitely transformable, and its proximate origin is of no importance whatsoever. nitrogen is nitrogen, it passes miraculously from the air into plants, from these into animals, and from animals into us; when its function in our body is exhausted, we eliminate it, but it still remains nitrogen, aseptic, innocent.
