ristotle was a Greek philosopher and wrote about physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, zoology, and finally biology. I had first thought of choosing Aristotle for my famous person because he had accomplished a variety of things in life and had changed science. As a science person, this means a lot to me. I choose this quote because it has slight humor in it and it is true. If you take a glance at the more known scientists and philosophers in history, one thing that is always common between them is that they were always slightly "mad". I think that everyone is a bit mad, whether we notice it or not. To go mad, I think that the person would have to be addictive to something; in my case it would be reading. Reading is something that I have always been good at so I kept on reading harder levels. I get so engrossed into the novel that the plot (or whatever the part in the book it is) is always stuck in my head, I constantly think about it. There is a genius in everyone, just for different things so everyone is slightly mad. The main reason why I chose the quote "There was never a genius without a tincture of madness" is that it applies to everyone, even me.
