The line between insanity and genius

Where is the line between insanity and genius. The smartest people of our time, Richard Feinman, Alan Turing, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, among many many others. These guys all have one thing in common, they have boarded the line of insanity. Locking themselves up in rooms by themselves with nothing but them and a paper.

In the world today, it is almost impossible to have this level of concentration for the majority of the population. So, how do they do it? Do you believe in the "genius" gene? Do you know anybody in your life that reminds you of these guys, and if so, how?
