Israelmore Ayivor
“You don't get drown by falling into a river. You get drown by remaining there. Falling accidentally and rising immediately was what distinguished Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln from the rest.”
Israelmore Ayivor

Sam Kean
“Many people agreed with one executive who sneered that [Thomas] Edison had a vacuum where his conscience ought to be.”
Sam Kean, The Icepick Surgeon: Murder, Fraud, Sabotage, Piracy, and Other Dastardly Deeds Perpetrated in the Name of Science
