Amelia Barr on the difference between mediocrity and genius

vutran | May 12, 2021, 12:28 p.m.

“Everything good needs time. Don’t do work in a hurry. Go into details; it pays in every way. Time means power for your work. Mediocrity is always in a rush; but whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing with consideration. For genius is nothing more nor less than doing well what anyone can do badly.”

— Amelia Barr
