A beautiful and encouraging post Tom, thank you. I would only point out that the alleged Einstein quote about everybody being a genius is almost certainly bogus. Actually the great physicist was extremely sparing of that accolade, applying the term, so far as I know, to only two contemporaries, Max Planck and Niels Bohr.

More generally, Einstein has probably had more misquotes foisted on him than any other human being that ever lived, I suppose on the assumption that if he uttered them then they must be true. A curious phenomenon, for sure.

Ugh, dude. I am usually the person debunking the “intuition /faithful servant” quote too. Thanks for putting that on my radar. And thanks for reading!
