Pain & Anger
: "I am 13, nearly 14. I am in bed, it is 12:08 am on a school night. I HATE school. I just had a sudden determination to do more, be more than average, I’ve been googling autodidactism and things like calculus and general physics for hours now. I don’t want to sleep I want to learn incredible things."
