"Genius is a superstition… There is no such thing as intellect. A man's brain is a social product. A sum of influences that he's picked up from those around him. Nobody invents anything, he merely reflects what's floating in the social atmosphere. A genius is an intellectual scavenger and a greedy hoarder of ideas which rightfully belong to society, from which he stole them. All thought is theft."
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
"Experience sets the frame within which we analyze and interpret what we perceive."
