Daniel Keyes. Flowers for Algernon (№ 287140)

I'm a genius? I'm not sure. At least not yet. I, as told to Bart, is an exception. Very democratic term, allowing to avoid the damn labels like "gifted" and "unable" (which actually means "brilliant" and" an imbecile). As soon as the word "exception" begins to make sense, he was immediately replaced by another. Use the word only as long as no one understands its value. "Exception" can be attributed to both ends of the mental spectrum, so all my life I was the "exception".
