Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

Quote of the Week 49

"Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born."
― Nikola Tesla



Cited here in context:

"The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. No big laboratory is needed in which to think. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born."
