What he said


“Sometimes there are things in my head that are so purely what they are, that when I try to turn them into words, there either are no words or I just don’t know how and you can’t imagine how that feels. How hard it is to have an idea and not be able to share it.” 


-Charlie Eppes, mathematical genius and often-frustrated communicator, on the difficulties in getting people to understand his ideas. from the CBS show "Numb3rs" (Season 4 Episode 10 - The Chinese Box)
