“The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be”
— Edgar Allan Poe
Simplified Meaning:
People who are very smart often feel uncomfortable if something isn't perfect and they usually choose to say nothing instead of speaking if their words might not be good enough.
