Random quote of the day:
“What distresses me is to see that human genius has limits and human stupidity none.â€
—Alexandre Dumas, fils, quoted in The Great Universal Dictionary of the Nineteenth Century, 1865

Disclaimer: The views expressed in this random quote of the day do not necessarily reflect the views of the poster, her immediate family, Lucy and Ethel, Justin Bieber, or the Kardashian Klan. They do, however, sometimes reflect the views of the Cottingley Fairies.
Quote Investigator credits Dumas for this, as you do, although many others have said it–later. See https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/07/28/genius/
Yes, well, it was attributed to many others later. I think it’s an internet species of wrong.
