Hi everyone,
I don't think I've actually formally introduced myself to the community, although I've been around a couple months and have posted infrequently, so, hello there! :wave:
I've been searching awhile to find a particular quote. The only time I saw it was on my Religious Studies prof's door. It was rather long, maybe a short paragraph, and said something along the lines of 'it is not Einstein that amazes me, but the idea that so many would-be Einsteins have slaved throughout history undiscovered' - that's a really generalized, dumbed-down version of it. I don't remember it is was attributed to anyone in particular, and I've never found it on any searches for quotations online.
I'm wondering if perhaps this sounds familiar to anyone? I'd love to get the actual wording, since it was a profound commentary (although you don't really get that sense from my recollection of it!).
Thanks, and nice to meetcha! :)
