Quotes 356: Théodore Géricault

"Although obstacles and difficulties frighten ordinary people, they are the necessary food of genius. They cause it to mature, and raise it up ... All that obstructs the path of genius inspires a state of feverish agitation, upsetting and overturning those obstacles, and producing masterpieces." 

–– Théodore Géricault (1791-1824), French painter
