"真の天才は不完全さに震え、通常は完全でないことを言うよりも沈黙を好む"
— Edgar Allan Poe

Simplified Meaning:
Some very smart people feel very uncomfortable when something isn’t perfect. They would rather stay quiet than speak if they can't fully express their thoughts in the best way. Imagine a painter who is working on a beautiful picture. If they can’t finish the picture perfectly, they would rather not show it to anyone than show it half-done. Similarly, a musician might prefer not to play a song if the instruments aren’t in tune. This idea can be applied to everyday life by making sure we speak or act only when we are well-prepared and confident, rather than rushing to say or do something incomplete or imperfect.
