I don't have a
lot of respect for talent. Talent is genetic. It's what you
do with it that counts.
-- Martin Ritt
I thought my
talent would transcend my outspokenness. I was wrong.
-- Mickey Rourke
1956-, American Actor
A man with a
talent does what is expected of him, makes his way,
constructs, is an engineer, a composer, a builder of
bridges. It's the natural order of things that he construct
objects outside himself and his family. The woman who does
so is aberrant. We have to expiate for this cursed talent
someone handed out to us, by mistake, in the black mystery
of genetics.
-- May Sarton
1912-, American Poet,
Novelist
Talent is
something, but tact is everything. It is the interpreter of
all riddles, the surmounter of all difficulties, the remover
of all obstacles.
-- W. P. Scargill
