Jeffrey Eugenides Quote

We stood silent. After a moment I said, Real Geniuses never think they're geniuses.Who says?Me.Because why?Because genius is nine-tenths perspiration. Haven't you ever heard that? As soon as you you're a genius, you slack off. You think everything you do is so great and everything.
