Our Virtues And Our Failings Are

Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

About this quote

Nikola Tesla wrote this philosophical reflection in My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla, serialized in Electrical Experimenter magazine in 1919. The autobiography — Tesla's most personal and accessible writing — covers his childhood in Serbia, his education, his inventions, and his theories about human nature. The observation on the inseparability of virtues and failings reflects the introspective tone of the later installments.
