I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)
English mathematician & physicist

Anyone here read Gleick's biography of Newton? I loved his book on Feynman and am waiting eagerly for the Newton bio to come out in paperback.
