The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla

Famous quotes containing the words life, times and/or tesla:

    “Continual success in obtaining those things which a man from time to time desireth, that is to say, continual prospering, is that men call FELICITY; I mean Felicity of this life. For there is no such thing as perpetual Tranquillity of mind, while we live here; because Life it self is but Motion, and can never be without Desire, nor without Faeroe, no more than without Sense.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “In former times and in less complex societies, children could find their way into the adult world by watching workers and perhaps giving them a hand; by lingering at the general store long enough to chat with, and overhear conversations of, adults...; by sharing and participating in the tasks of family and community that were necessary to survival. They were in, and of, the adult world while yet sensing themselves apart as children.”
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    “Your fate is to be what you are. As mine is to be what I am—your master.”
    —Griffin Jay, Randall Faye, and Lew Landers. Armand Tesla (Bela Lugosi)
