Electricity Quotes

“Invention is the most important product of man's creative brain. The ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of human nature to human needs.”
― Nikola Tesla, My Inventions

“Electricity is really just organized lightning”
― George Carlin

“I am somewhat exhausted; I wonder how a battery feels when it pours electricity into a non-conductor?”
― Arthur Conan Doyle , The Adventure of the Dying Detective

“Enthusiasm is the electricity of life. How do you get it? You act enthusiastic until you make it a habit.”
― Gordon Parks

“Brunettes are full of electricity.”
― Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, Tomorrow's Eve

“Electricity for example was considered a very Satanic thing when it was first discovered and utilized.”
― Zeena Schreck

“When you have half of Caironese in slums, when you don't have clean water, when you don't have a sewer system, when you don't have electricity, and on top of that you live under one of the most repressive regimes right now... Well, put all that together, and it's a ticking bomb. It's not of a question of threat; it is question of looking around at the present environment and making a rational prognosis.”
― Mohamed ElBaradei

“The night crackled ... Everything had turned to static electricity in the heat. I combed my hair to watch the sparks fly from the ends.”
― Janet Fitch, White Oleander

“So Yoda sounds like our best bet as an energy source. But with world electricity consumption pushing 2 terawatts, it would take a hundred million Yodas to meet our demands. All things considered, switching to Yoda power probably isn't worth the trouble — though it would definitely be green.”
― Randall Munroe, What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions

“There is a force more powerful than steam and electricity: the will.”
― Fernán Caballero

“Is it a fact – or have I dreamt it – that, by means of electricity, the world of matter has become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of miles in a breathless point of time?”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne

“Many conscientious environmentalists are repelled by the word "abundance," automatically associating it with irresponsible consumerism and plundering of Earth's resources. In the context of grassroots frustration, insensitive enthusing about the potential for energy abundance usually elicits an annoyed retort. "We have to conserve." The authors believe the human family also has to _choose_. The people we speak with at the recycling depot or organic juice bar are for the most part not looking at the _difference_ between harmony-with-nature technologies and exploitative practices such as mountaintop coal mining. "Destructive" was yesterday's technology of choice. As a result, the words "science and technology" are repugnant to many of the people who passionately care about health, peace, justice and the biosphere. Usually these acquaintances haven't heard about the variety of constructive yet powerful clean energy technologies that have the potential to gradually replace oil and nuclear industries if allowed. Wastewater-into-energy technologies could clean up waterways and other variations solve the problem of polluting feedlots and landfills.”
― Jeane Manning, Breakthrough Power: How Quantum-Leap New Energy Inventions Can Transform Our World

“He (Comings) has in the past performed successful energy-converting experiments, creating a ringing resonance by injecting certain frequencies into piezo-electric crystals. When the crystal was in resonance with the plenum of space, the power output rose significantly higher than the input. He concluded that, if allowed politically, such discoveries could guide humankind in building a completely clean energy infrastructure -- resonant technologies that allow us to live in harmony with the universal energy field and the Earth.”

“Soon now, the faint tinkling of a broken filament will become another sound of another century.”
― Jane Brox, Brilliant: The Evolution of Artificial Light

“Prototypes of inventions that use novel combinations of resonance, magnetism, states of matter, certain geometries or inward swirling motion to unlock the secrets of universal energy have already been built. They provide proof of new or rediscovered principles. In many variations of these inventions, a small input triggers a disproportionately large output of useable power."
"These energy converters don't violate any laws of physics if they simply tap into a previously unrecognized source of power - background space. A flow of energy from that source can continue day and night, whether or not the sun shines or the wind blows.”
― Jeane Manning, Breakthrough Power: How Quantum-Leap New Energy Inventions Can Transform Our World

“Time and task were both disorienting, for if you were to remove everything from our lives that depends on electricity to function, homes and offices would become no more than the chambers and passages of limestone caves- simple shelter from wind and rain, far less useful than the first homes at Plymouth Plantation or a wigwam. No way to keep out cold, or heat, for long. No way to preserve food, or to cook it. The things that define us, quiet as rock outcrops - the dumb screens and dials, the senseless clicks of on/off switches- without their purpose, they lose the measure of their beauty and we are left alone in the dark with countless useless things.”
― Jane Brox, Brilliant: The Evolution of Artificial Light

“There are things done today in electrical science which would have been deemed unholy by the very man who discovered electricity, who would themselves not so long before been burned as wizards.”
― Bram Stoker

“In the final scene of Power, the Supreme Court justices appear as a striking abstraction: Nine scowling masks line up in a row on top of a giant podium. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes speaks the majority opinion: 'Water power, the right to convert it into electric energy, and the electric energy thus produced constitute property belonging to the United States.”
― Susan Quinn, Furious Improvisation: How the Wpa and a Cast of Thousands Made High Art Out of Desperate Times

“I had enough electricity in my booty to jump-start the whole of New York City.”
― Colum McCann, Let the Great World Spin

“You don't want to be on Electric Avenue when it rains.”
― Nuclear Circus, 94,000 Wasps in a Trench Coat

“Op die manier is de elektrische stoel uitgevonden. Uitgedokterd door Edison die de gevaren van de wisselstroom wilde tonen en zijn idee vervolgens verkocht aan de Sing-sing-gevangenis waarop het tot op de dag van vandaag wordt gebruikt. Heerlijk, vind je niet? Als de wereld niet zo prachtig was, zouden we allemaal nog cynici worden.”
― Paul Auster

“I regard the utility industry as an evil entity!”
― Steven Magee

“I developed my police survival techniques through toxic interactions with the Pima County Sheriff in Arizona, USA, when I was performing research for the books Electrical Forensics and Toxic Electricity.”
― Steven Magee

“As much as I dislike utility companies, I do like having electricity!”
― Steven Magee

“He felt electricity flow through his veins, his arms, his eyes.”
― Nick Oliveri, The Conjurer

“My hands ignited the night. A strangled cry escaped me as the lightning surged through my palms. I was but a vessel for the raw, white force erupting forth---so much more than the scant sparks that Yoseph had helped coax out of me before.”
― Sabrina Blackburry, Dirty Lying Faeries

“They code the human body remotely with electricity… To control fates… Cause sensations & thoughts otherwise non-existent… To trick the wrongfully considered as "valid" machines of truth that paradoxically no one knows about…”
― Maria Karvouni, You Are Always Innocent

“They shock victims… permanently installing electricity inside the body… They drain the thoughts from the eyes… They send radio waves to the ears… Silent criminals appearing as good & innocent… Secretly they abuse & frame.”
― Maria Karvouni, You Are Always Innocent

“The machines of truth… judges have access to are not valid. Only hold thoughts …caused themselves with radio waves & electricity …separate phrases/words/letters …from external sources… Biased filter from ill-willed people.”
― Maria Karvouni, You Are Always Innocent

“The increase in the price of electricity will not affect the poorest. Their electricity has already been cut off.”
― Ljupka Cvetanova, Yet Another New Land
