Re: “I'd heard of him before, but took a moment to read a little more about him. It seems near impossible that he could have done what he did, and yet he did.”
When I read about stunning geniuses like Ramanujan, Mozart, Hamilton and Galois, all of whom died young, I feel something akin to grief. How much more wondrous the world might have been today if they hadn't been cheated of additional years...
