My ear barely caught signals coming in regular succession which could not have been produced on earth.
Nikola Tesla

The motors I build there were exactly as I imagined them. I made no attempt to improve the design, but merely reproduced the pictures as they appeared to my vision and the operation was always as I expected.

We should begin at the very root from which we spring, we should effect a radical reform in the character of the food.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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
Image
Most certainly, some planets are not inhabited, but others are, and among these there must exist life under all conditions and phases of development.

One of the great events in my life was my first meeting with Edison. This wonderful man, who had received no scientific training, yet had accomplished so much, filled me with amazement. I felt that the time I had spent studying languages, literature and art was wasted though later, of course, I learned this was not so.

I can now state that I have succeeded in operating a motive device by means of [cosmic rays]. I will tell you in the most general way, the cosmic ray ionizes the air, setting free many charges - ions and electrons. These charges are captured in a condenser which is made to discharge through the circuit of the motor.

From childhood I was compelled to concentrate attention upon myself. This caused me much suffering, but to my present view, it was a blessing in disguise for it has taught me to appreciate the inestimable value of introspection in the preservation of life, as well as a means of achievement.

The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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.

Of all things I liked books best.

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Every living being is an engine geared to the wheel-work of the universe.
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.
