  Anything that won’t sell, I don’t want to invent. Its sale is a proof of utility, and utility is success. - Thomas Edison http://startupquote.com/post/1493433006 http://startupquote.com/post/1493433006

  “I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.” --Nikola Tesla
