Arthur Schopenhauer Talent Versus Genius Quote Mouse Pad

Do you know what the difference is between talent and genius? German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer explained this difference as follows: "Talent is able to achieve what is beyond other people’s capacity to achieve, yet not what is beyond their capacity of apprehension; therefore it at once finds its appreciators. The achievement of genius, on the other hand, transcends not only others’ capacity of achievement, but also their capacity of apprehension; therefore they do not become immediately aware of it. Talent is like the marksman who hits a target which others cannot reach; genius is like the marksman who hits a target … which others cannot even see."
