Genius is the capacity to explain quantum physics to a six year old...and they understand it.

Genius is remembering what it was to be a six year old.

Genius can say both of these things without using the word "is."

Fortune Cookies

And why do they have to be fortune cookies? I think Eve is being preferential here. How about matzoh fortunes? I could give you plenty of them, like I heard growing up:

"You have nothing to do? In the old country everyone had something to do. I'll give you something to do--go count your blessings!"

"Stop complaining and eat your borscht. Starving children in India would give a right arm for that borscht."

"Of course I'm fine. It's just oooh my heart, but just a twinge. I'm fine. I wouldn't want you to worry. Really....Really."


Oh. I forgot. There are no matzoh fortunes. Never mind.

A real poem says something different to every reader
but it always speaks the truth.

Without science, a society does not reach maturity; without poetry, it is never born.

The beauty of poetry is painted in all the colors of life.

Homer....

That was a fortune cookie. Didn't mean for it to be confusing.

And I suppose if you meant it to be confusing it wouldn't have been then, right? Which would me the only way not to confuse me would be to try to confuse me, although there's no way to know whether this would confuse anyone else...

makes perfect sense

Poetry is music for the mind.

No worthy words arrive easily.

Time spent holding a pen is time potentially well spent.

As days grow shorter the stanzas lengthen.

The first two lines seem disconnected, and I am not sure that I agree with the third, but the final is a well phrased truism - I really like it!

I actually found this fortune cookie in a Robert Anton Wilson book I was quoting for a paper on Joyce. I also added the fortune cookie in the paper... can't wait to see how the Prof. takes that one

With the kind of time I have for writing I'm more than satisfied with one paragraph at a time.

They are separate phrases to be used in fortune cookies. Totally unconnected and not intended as poetry at all.
