All my life I have been passionately interested in monomaniacs of any kind, people carried away by a single idea. The more one limits oneself, the closer one is to the infinite; these people, as unworldly as they seem, burrow like termites into their own particular material to construct, in miniature, a strange and utterly individual image of the world.
— from Chess Story, by Stefan Zweig.
Oh, I've been wanting to read this book for ages and now I want to read it even more!
