Ask The Dust

"We hope your rules and your wisdom choke you."

Nikola Tesla, in “Radio Power Will Revolutionize the World” in Modern Mechanics and Inventions (July 1934).
via chukwuma: “Ditto for the artist. Many of culture and technology’s biggest steps forward were made at the hands of scientists and artists. Alas both are usually supported by the State, most of all in the name of public ideology (propaganda’s such a thorny word) and war.” (via tobia)

The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter — for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way. He lives and labors and hopes.
