I Want to Tell You My Love Story
Not mine. Leibniz'. Along with Newton he's credited with the discovery of calculus (differential and integral calculus)
He spent most of his time in his study, thinking and producing whatever we use today in math and philosophy.
When he was 50, he thought maybe he needed a compagnon, a wife. There was this woman, very nice to him, in fact she wanted more. She used to cook meals for him, in the occasion of...nothing.
Leibniz liked her too. But, thinking was his hobby, thinking was his occupation, thinking was his life. He decided one day to get off his routine. He finally decided to propose to his friend.
She wanted to think about it.
That was a tremendous mistake.
She allowed Leibniz to get away because he went back to his study, did what he knew best: Think. He never got back to her. When asked about marriage he blamed it on his financial status. He died single, left a fortune to his sister's stepson. What happened to the woman?..well that's another story.
