Mother as Inspiration.
“It is strange, but when I have an inspiration, always it seems to me as if my mother were near me – at my bedside – during my work – all the time.
She was an inventor. She invented a weaving machine, attending to all details herself. Yes, and many things of more importance.
My father was a mathematician and linguist. He was a man of note in both studies, but from my mother comes the inventive faculty, and now, though she is dead, when the pressure of thought of some new idea is on me, I feel her presence.“
-Nikola Tesla.
“Tesla Talks And Confirms His Astounding Story.” November 19, 1898.
