I used to rent a house in princeton, new jersey, and whenever people came to visit me, i would drive them past albert einstein's house, which is the most ordinary house in princeton - a house, let me assure you, that now a salesman wouldn't live in. i'd always say, "that was albert einstein's house." and they'd say, "what do you mean? why would albert einstein live in a little house like that?" and i'd always say to people, "because he didn't care!"
