Nikola Tesla

I am not an inventor. I am a discoverer.

The beauty of the heart is the lasting beauty: its lips give kindness, its hands help others, its mind seeks good for others, its heart forgives others, its soul loves all.

I am a 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.

I have been feeding pigeons, thousands of them for years. But there was one, a beautiful bird, pure white with light grey tips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female. I had only to wish and call her and she would come flying to me. I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. When she was ill I knew, and understood; she came to my room and I stayed beside her for days. I nursed her back to health. That pigeon was the joy of my life. If she needed me, nothing else mattered. As long as I had her, there was a purpose in my life.

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.

I have managed to reflect a ray of light from my mind to the planet Venus, and have received a return signal. I am convinced that intelligent beings on that planet are trying to communicate with the Earth.

The earth is a conductor of acoustical waves.

The struggle for existence is being gradually replaced by a struggle for intellectual supremacy.
