We build monuments to speak to the
future, to say, "We were here. We have lived". A true legacy isn't what we build up
to the heavens, or crave deep into stone. And rocks will crumble, paper
disintigrates, and bone turns to powder. Only that which isn't in the physical realm
and reaches in both directions can be eternal. Our ideas. They are what we leave
behind. And only they are what can push us forward.
- Nikola Tesla
