Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.Marcus Aurelius
Modern science says: 'The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.' From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.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.Nikola Tesla
By an irony of fate, my first employment was as a draughtsman. I hated drawing; it was for me the very worst of annoyances. Fortunately, it was not long before I secured the position I sought, that of chief electrician to the telephone company.Nikola Tesla
I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.Pablo Picasso
When I die, it will be a shipwreck, and as when a huge ship sinks, many people all around will be sucked down with it.Pablo Picasso
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. He and his are not neglected by the gods.Socrates
Don't bother about being modern. Unfortunately it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.Salvador Dalí
