Bram Cohen

Sourced

• I hated school, and dropped out of college. I got picked on a lot in school, and had a lot of trouble making friends.

• One thing about school - I always had this attitude that I was in school to learn, and attempted to do whatever was involved in that process, while school had this attitude that I was there to earn grades, which I couldn't care less about. Unsurprisingly, my grades weren't very good.

Quotes about Cohen

• He's very good at his strengths. When he gets an idea in his head, he works it over until he has it solved or knows it can't be solved. I've rarely seen him give up on problems.
