All ALEXANDER POPE Quotes about “Genius”

“Genius creates, and taste preserves.”
“Consult the genius of the place, that paints as you plant, and as you work.”
“I think a good deal may be said to extenuate the fault of bad Poets. What we call a Genius, is hard to be distinguish'd by a man himself, from a strong inclination: and if his genius be ever so great, he can not at first discover it any other way, than by giving way to that prevalent propensity which renders him the more liable to be mistaken.”
