Life
“‘Spectacular’ is a mild word for describing the strange experiment with life that comprises the story of Nikola Tesla, and ‘amazing’ fails to do adequate justice to the results that burst from his experiments like an exploding rocket. It is the story of the dazzling scintillations of a superman who created a new word.”-John J. O’Neil, Prodigal Genius the Life of Nikola Tesla (1944)
“When an idea presents itself it is, as a rule, crude and imperfect. Birth, growth and development are phases normal and natural. It was different with my invention. In the very moment I became conscious of it, I saw it fully developed and perfected.… My imaginings were equivalent to realities.”-Nikola Tesla
