The man who filled his own life and all our existence with bright light.

“‬If there is life hereafter,‭ ‬or if there is none,‭ ‬it does not matter.‭”

“Everything on earth depends on will. I never had an idea in my life. I’ve got no imagination. I never dream. My so-called inventions already existed in the environment—I took them out. I’ve created nothing. Nobody does. There’s no such thing as an idea being brain-born; everything comes from the outside. The industrious one coaxes it from the environment; the drone lets it lie there while he goes off to the baseball game. The ‘genius’ hangs around his laboratory day and night. If anything happens he’s there to catch it; if he wasn’t, it might happen just the same, only it would never be his.”

Thomas Edison (1847-1931),  American inventor and businessman
