The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter - for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Genius is its own passport, and has always been ready to change habitats until the natural one is found. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Of all things, I liked books best. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
To create and to annihilate material substance, cause it to aggregate in forms according to his desire, would be the supreme manifestation of the power of Man's mind, his most complete triumph over the physical world ... ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
One day I was handed a few volumes of new literature unlike anything I had ever read before and so captivating as to make me utterly forget my hopeless state. They were the earlier works of Mark Twain and to them might have been due the miraculous recovery which followed. Twenty-five years later, when I met Mr. Clemens and we formed a friendship between us, I told him of the experience and was amazed to see that great man of laughter burst into tears. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment and merging of races, and we are still far from this blissful realization. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
We are automata entirely controlled by the forces of the medium being tossed about like corks on the surface of the water, but mistaking the resultant of the impulses from the outside for free will. The movements and other actions we perform are always life preservative and tho seemingly quite independent from one another, we are connected by invisible links ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Of all the endless variety of phenomena which nature presents to our senses, there is none that fills our minds with greater wonder than that inconceivably complex movement which, in its entirety, we designate as human life; Its mysterious origin is veiled in the forever impenetrable mist of the past, its character is rendered incomprehensible by its infinite intricacy, and its destination is hidden in the unfathomable depths of the future ... ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I myself eschew all stimulants. I also practically abstain from meat. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
F the government is going to put money into the automobile sector, it should break up GM and Chrysler as a condition of financial aid, and it should be even-handed in its treatment of start-up firms like Tesla, Miles, Fisker, and others. It would be terrible to kill the entrepreneurs who have taken great risks to bring new automotive technologies to market by pumping tax dollars into the behemoths that have done everything wrong for the last years. ~ Denis Hayes
Tesla quotes by Denis Hayes
I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
My proceeds from the PayPal acquisition were $180 million. I put $100 million in SpaceX, $70m in Tesla, and $10m in Solar City. I had to borrow money for rent. ~ Elon Musk
Tesla quotes by Elon Musk
Einstein's relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king.. its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
All matter comes from a primary substance, the luminiferous ether ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
antisocial behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world of conformists. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Zip2, PayPal, Tesla, SolarCity - they are all expressions of Musk. SpaceX is Musk. ~ Ashlee Vance
Tesla quotes by Ashlee Vance
Inventors don't have time for married life. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
The day when we shall know exactly what electricity is will chronicle an event probably greater, more important than any other recorded in the history of the human race. The time will come when the comfort, the very existence, perhaps, of man will depend upon that wonderful agent. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I'm not a geius guy, even and Albert Einstein isn't and Tesla, nobody is genius. From where you will know what's the IQ for Albert or Tesla in their time there wasn't such test and how such test can show how clever are you in case that the most questions are math, physics and mainly this how this two subjects will show that you are clever or dumb?? I strongly doubt about this if I know the answer sof the test and I fill it right so I must be the world clever man? No, I don't think so - That's bullshit!
That I have written 8 books and now I'm working on some other books this doesn't make me clever, the most stuff are just search from the internet and put, the other is thoughts from me. Like thinking on some questions and that's all! ~ Deyth Banger
Tesla quotes by Deyth Banger
Misunderstandings are always caused by the inability of appreciating one another's point of view. This again is due to the ignorance of those concerned, not so much in their own, as in their mutual fields. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
An inventor's endeavor is essentially lifesaving. Whether he harnesses forces, improves devices, or provides new comforts and conveniences, he is adding to the safety of our existence. He is also better qualified than the average individual to protect himself in peril, for he is observant and resourceful. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I don't care that they stole my idea . I care that they don't have any of their own ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Throughout these early years, the engineers credited Eberhard with making quick, crisp decisions. Rarely did Tesla get hung up overanalyzing a situation. The company would pick a plan of attack, and when it failed at something, it failed fast and then tried a new approach. It ~ Ashlee Vance
Tesla quotes by Ashlee Vance
Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success ... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
The human being is a self-propelled automaton entirely under the control of external influences. Willful and predetermined though they appear, his actions are governed not from within, but from without. He is like a float tossed about by the waves of a turbulent sea. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Modern electrical power distribution technology is largely the fruit of the labors of two men - Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. Compared with Edison, Tesla is relatively unknown, yet he invented the alternating electric current generation and distribution system that supplanted Edison's direct current technology and that is the system currently in use today. Tesla also had a vision of delivering electricity to the world that was revolutionary and unique. If his research had come to fruition, the technological landscape would be entirely different than it is today. Power lines and the insulated towers that carry them over thousands of country and city miles would not distract our view. Tesla believed that by using the electrical potential of the Earth, it would be possible to transmit electricity through the Earth and the atmosphere without using wires. With suitable receiving devices, the electricity could be used in remote parts of the planet. Along with the transmission of electricity, Tesla proposed a system of global communication, following an inspired realization that, to electricity, the Earth was nothing more than a small, round metal ball.
[...]
With $150,000 in financial support from J. Pierpont Morgan and other backers, Tesla built a radio transmission tower at Wardenclyffe, Long Island, that promised - along with other less widely popular benefits - to provide communication to people in the far corners of the world who needed no more than a handheld rece ~ Christopher Dunn
Tesla quotes by Christopher Dunn
Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Yeah, well I think anyone who likes fast cars will love the Tesla. And it has fantastic handling by the way. I mean this car will crush a Porsche on the track, just crush it. So if you like fast cars, you'll love this car. And then oh, by the way, it happens to be electric and it's twice the efficiency of a Prius. ~ Elon Musk
Tesla quotes by Elon Musk
Invention is the most important product of man's creative brain. The ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of human nature to human needs. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
If Mr. Edison had thought smarter he wouldn't sweat as much. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I come from a very wiry and long-lived race. Some of my ancestors have been centenarians, and one of them lived 129 years. I am determined to keep up the record and please myself with prospects of great promise. Then again, nature has given me a vivid imagination. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
declared Tesla as the true "father of radio. ~ Sean Patrick
Tesla quotes by Sean Patrick
Instinct is something which transcends knowledge ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Our first endeavors are purely instinctive prompting of an imagination vivid and undisciplined. As we grow older reason asserts itself and we become more and more systematic and designing. But those early impulses, though not immediately productive, are of the greatest moment and may shape our very destinies. Indeed, I feel now that had I understood and cultivated instead of suppressing them, I would have added substantial value to my bequest to the world. But not until I had attained manhood did I realize that I was an inventor. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I never have, above my signature, announced anything that I did not prove first. That is the reason why no statement of mine was ever contradicted, and I do not think it will be, because whenever I publish something I go through it first by experiment, then from experiment I calculate, and when I have the theory and practice meet I announce the results. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Columbus has the standing egg, Tesla has the electromagnetic egg and Magee has the irradiated egg. ~ Steven Magee
Tesla quotes by Steven Magee
For all the supporters of Tesla over the years, and it's been several years now and there have been some very tough times, I'd just like to say thank you very much. I deeply appreciate the support, particularly through the darkest times. ~ Elon Musk
Tesla quotes by Elon Musk
Tesla, at least, seemed perfectly satisfied with what he had achieved in Colorado. He had made lightning dance at his command; he had used the whole Earth as a piece of laboratory equipment; and he had received messages from the stars. Now he was in a hurry to get on with the future. ~ Margaret Cheney
Tesla quotes by Margaret Cheney
From my childhood I had been intended for the clergy. This prospect hung like a dark cloud on my mind. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I mean, I think that if people are concerned about volatility, they should definitely not buy our stock. I'm not here [on an earnings call] to convince you to buy [Tesla] stock. Do not buy it if volatility is scary. There you go. ~ Elon Musk
Tesla quotes by Elon Musk
The development of Nikola Tesla's ideas by corporate governments has created a sick and dangerous world. ~ Steven Magee
Tesla quotes by Steven Magee
Now the soft-voiced gentle woman of my reverent worship has all but vanished. ~ Nicola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nicola Tesla
What Musk had done that the rival automakers missed or didn't have the means to combat was turn Tesla into a lifestyle. It did not just sell someone a car. It sold them an image, a feeling they were tapping into the future, a relationship. Apple did the same thing decades ago with the Mac and then again with the iPod and iPhone. Even those who were not religious about their affiliation to Apple were sucked into its universe once they bought the hardware and downloaded software like iTunes. This ~ Ashlee Vance
Tesla quotes by Ashlee Vance
Its not the love you make. It's the love you give. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Celibacy is the Tesla family secret, passed down through the
generations."
"Celibacy, passed down through the generations?"Victor asked dryly.
I flushed. "Its efficacy is not disproved by its imperfect application,"
I muttered. ~ Vinnie Tesla
Tesla quotes by Vinnie Tesla
There is something within me that might be illusion as it is often case with young delighted people, but if I would be fortunate to achieve some of my ideals, it would be on the behalf of the whole of humanity. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
...and led me to finally recognise that I was but an automaton devoid of free will in thought and action and merely responsible to the forces of the environment. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Soon became convinced I was right and undertook the task with all the fire and boundless confidence of youth. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
One may feel a sudden wave of sadness and rake his brain for an explanation when he might have noticed that it was caused by a cloud cutting off the rays of the sun. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I am part of a light, and it is the music. The Light fills my six senses: I see it, hear, feel, smell, touch and think. Thinking of it means my sixth sense. Particles of Light are written note. O bolt of lightning can be an entire sonata. A thousand balls of lightening is a concert.. For this concert I have created a Ball Lightning, which can be heard on the icy peaks of the Himalayas. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
The carrying out into practise of a crude idea as is being generally done is, I hold, nothing but a waste of energy, money and time. My ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution. ~ Elon Musk
Tesla quotes by Elon Musk
With ideas it is like with dizzy heights you climb: At first they cause you discomfort and you are anxious to get down, distrustful of your own powers; but soon the remoteness of the turmoil of life and the inspiring influence of the altitude calm your blood; your step gets firm and sure and you begin to look - for dizzier heights. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
By an irony of fate, my first employment was as a draughtsman. I hated drawing; it was for me the very worst of annoyances. Fortunately, it was not long before I secured the position I sought, that of chief electrician to the telephone company. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
A bunch of Tesla employees wrote checks to keep the company going, ~ Ashlee Vance
Tesla quotes by Ashlee Vance
If we want to reduce poverty and misery, if we want to give to every deserving individual what is needed for a safe existence of an intelligent being, we want to provide more machinery, more power. Power is our mainstay, the primary source of our many-sided energies. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
The idea of atomic energy is illusionary but it has taken so powerful a hold on the minds, that although I have preached against it for twenty-five years, there are still some who believe it to be realizable. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I could only achieve success in my life through self-discipline, and I applied it until my wish and my will became one. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Our culture teaches that sex is for the sexy, and the only way to be sexy is to be pretty.
No wait
that's still too weak. Sex should properly arise from sexiness. For unsexy people
fat people, old people, funny-looking people, disabled people
to even feel sexual desire is inappropriate, perverse, disgusting. For them to engage in sexual display is offensive. For them to have sex ... well, there oughta be a law. ~ Vinnie Tesla
Tesla quotes by Vinnie Tesla
Everyone should consider his body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
It has cost me years of thought to arrive at certain results, by many believed to be unattainable, for which there are now numerous claimants, and the number of these is rapidly increasing, like that of the colonels in the South after the war. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
These are only new devices for putting the weak at the mercy of the strong. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
What one man calls God, another calls the laws of physics. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
My ear barely caught signals coming in regular succession which could not have been produced on earth ... ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Since the death of Nikola Tesla in 1943, his life has deserved a worthy biography. Bernard Carlson has delivered that in Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age, which portrays Tesla as intensely human ... Anyone, whether simply an interested reader or a professional historian, engineer, or physicist, will finish Tesla with a deepened understanding of his world, character, and accomplishments. ~ Robert Rosenberg
Tesla quotes by Robert Rosenberg
Here was a stupendous possibility of achievement. If we could produce electric effects of the required quality, this whole planet and the conditions of existence on it could be transformed. The sun raises the water of the oceans and winds drive it to distant regions where it remains in a state of most delicate balance. If it were in our power to upset it when and wherever desired, this mighty life-sustaining stream could be at will controlled. We could irrigate arid deserts, create lakes and rivers and provide motive power in unlimited amounts. This would be the most efficient way of harnessing the sun to the uses of man. The consummation depended on our ability to develop electric forces of the order of those in nature. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
But the female mind has demonstrated a capacity for all the mental acquirements and achievements of men, and as generations ensue that capacity will be expanded; the average woman will be as well educated as the average man, and then better educated, for the dormant faculties of her brain will be stimulated to an activity that will be all the more intense and powerful because of centuries of repose. Woman will ignore precedent and startle civilization with their progress. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Life is and will ever remain an equation incapable of solution, but it contains certain known factors. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
We should effect a radical reform in the character of the food. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Crystals are living beings at the beginning of creation. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
His [Thomas Edison] method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 per cent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense. In view of this, the truly prodigious amount of his actual accomplishments is little short of a miracle. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
The last 29 days of the month are the toughest! ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
The by far greater number of human beings are never aware of what is passing around and within them, and millions fall victims of disease and die prematurely just on this account. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get an idea I start at once building it up in my imagination. I change the construction, make improvements, and operate the device entirely in my mind. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Tesla might not have invented a machine for going back in time, but Griffin thought he'd just found a way to stop it. ~ Kady Cross
Tesla quotes by Kady Cross
The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
All scientific men will be delighted to extend their warmest congratulations to Tesla and to express their appreciation of his great contributions to science. ~ Ernest Rutherford
Tesla quotes by Ernest Rutherford
Great moments are born great oppurtunity ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Alternate currents, especially of high frequencies, pass with astonishing freedom through even slightly rarefied gases. The upper strata of the air are rarefied. To reach a number of miles out into space requires the overcoming of difficulties of a merely mechanical nature. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
We have to evolve means for obtaining energy from stores which are forever inexhaustible, to perfect methods which do not imply consumption and waste of any material whatever. I now feel sure that the realization of that idea is not far off ... the possibilities of the development I refer to, namely, that of the operation of engines on any point of the earth by the energy of the medium. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. These properties we can only speak of when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
We are just waves in time and space, changing continuously, and the illusion of individuality is produced through the concatenation of the rapidly succeeding phases of existence. What we define as likeness is merely the result of the symmetrical arrangement of molecules which compose our body. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
The human mind thinks but to complicate. As soon as one problem is solved, that solution introduces new complications, other problems that perhaps did not exist before. That was one of my great troubles when I was younger, I invented many things that were very fine, but always I was getting into complications. I have had to work very hard to overcome that. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife ... Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment ... ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
The overarching goal of Tesla is to help reduce carbon emissions and that means low cost and high volume. We will also serve as an example to the auto industry, proving that the technology really works and customers want to buy electric vehicles. ~ Elon Musk
Tesla quotes by Elon Musk
I counted the steps in my walks and calculated the cubical contents of soup plates, coffee cups and pieces of food otherwise my meal was unenjoyable. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Misunderstanding are always cause by the inability of appreciating one another's point of view. The best way to dispel ignorance of the doings of others is by a systematic spread of general knowledge. With this object in view, it is most important to aid exchange of thoughts intercourse. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Within a decade, the internal combustion engine automobile is likely to look exactly like what it is - a machine that converts gasoline into much more heat than forward motion, a bizarre antiquity. ~ Stephen Petranek
Tesla quotes by Stephen Petranek
The earth is bountiful, and where her bounty fails, nitrogen drawn from the air will refertilize her womb. I developed a process for this purpose in 1900. It was perfected fourteen years later under the stress of war by German chemists. ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
When we speak of man, we have a conception of humanity as a whole, and before applying scientific methods to the investigation of his movement we must accept this as a physical fact. But can anyone doubt to-day that all the millions of individuals and all the innumerable types and characters constitute an entity, a unit? Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them. I cut myself in the finger, and it pains me: this finger is a part of me. I see a friend hurt, and it hurts me, too: my friend and I are one. And now I see stricken down an enemy, a lump of matter which, of all the lumps of matter in the universe, I care least for, and it still grieves me. Does this not prove that each of us is only part of a whole?
For ages this idea has been proclaimed in the consummately wise teachings of religion, probably not alone as a means of insuring peace and harmony among men, but as a deeply founded truth. The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one. Metaphysical proofs are, however, not the only ones which we are able to bring forth in support of this idea. Science, too, recognizes this connectedness of separate individuals, though not quite in the same sense as it admits that the suns, planets, and moons of a constellation are one body, and there can be no doubt that it will be experimentally confirmed in times t ~ Nikola Tesla
Tesla quotes by Nikola Tesla
Tesla," the vicar mused. "That's a foreign name, is it not? Hungarian,
is it?"
"Serbian," I corrected him. "I'm afraid the - shire Teslas are a
scant three centuries in these parts, having constructed Tesla Hall in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth.We are a restless people, and no doubt
will be moving on again any century now. ~ Vinnie Tesla
Tesla quotes by Vinnie Tesla
June 28, 1983 Mianus River Bridge Greenwich, Connecticut George Tesla was drunk. This wasn't new for him, but the reason was. He was going to be a father. Fifty years old, and he'd knocked up a thirty-year-old carnie. Someone careful enough to live through a trapeze act ought to be careful enough to not get pregnant. But she hadn't been. Tatiana flat-out refused to talk about abortion or adoption or any sensible solution to the problem. She was perfectly willing to talk about leaving him to raise the baby alone, but nothing else. Her mind was set. He leaned against the cold side of the bridge and took a long sip of Jack Daniel's from his silver hip flask. He'd bought the flask when he was first made professor of mathematics at New York University. Another thing that would have to change, since Tatiana had told him she had no intention of giving up performing to move to New York ~ Rebecca Cantrell
Tesla quotes by Rebecca Cantrell
As I uttered these inspiring words the idea came like a flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed. I drew with a stick on the sand the diagram shown six years later in my address before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and my companion understood them perfectly. The images I saw were wonderfully sharp and clear and had the solidity of metal and stone, so much so that I told him, "See my motor here; watch me reverse it." I cannot begin to describe my emotions. Pygmalion seeing his statue come to life could not have been more deeply moved. A thousand secrets of nature which I might have stumbled upon accidentally, I would have given for that one which I had wrested from her against all odds and at the peril of my existence ... ~ Nikola Tesla
