Curiosity, the overwhelming desire to know, is not characteristic of dead matter. Nor does it seem to be characteristic of some forms of living organism, which, for that very reason, we can scarcely bring ourselves to consider alive.Isaac Asimov, Gaither’s Dictionary of Scientific Quotations
Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.Nikola Tesla as quoted in A Visit to Nikola Tesla by Dragislav L. Petković in Politika (April 1927)
