I am not more gifted than the average human being. If you know anything about history, you would know that is so--what hard times I had in studying and the fact that I do not have a memory like some other people do… I am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up on a problem until I have found the proper solution. This is one of my greatest satisfactions in life--solving problems--and the harder they are, the more satisfaction do I get out of them. Maybe you could consider me a bit more patient in continuing with my problem than is the average human being. Now, if you understand what I have just told you, you see that it is not a matter of being more gifted but a matter of being more curious and maybe more patient until you solve a problem.
~ Albert Einstein quotes from The Private Albert Einstein; p. 29

If one woks very hard at fitting in with others, especially when one feels very different from others, self-alienation can result. In their desperation to belong, many "well-adjusted" gifted youth and adults have given up or lost touch with vital parts of themselves.
~ Linda Kreger Silverman quotes from Counseling Needs & Programs for the Gifted; p. 644
