Nikola Tesla quotes from Sanctuary

Nikola Tesla

[to Helen] My god, you look so sexy with a gun.

Nikola Tesla

The Ancient Ones...They were intelligent, gifted, powerful...until a bunch of church folk decided that our race was impure, evil. And not only did they hunt them down, killed them off, but they turned our species into a cultural joke.

Nikola Tesla

Irony is, I once owned the patent to that weapon. I never should have sold it to Edison, cheapskate that he was.

Nikola Tesla

Back at Oxford, the others used the Source for power and for greed, but you… You altered yourself out of a pure desire for knowledge. You’re the only scientist, perhaps the only person I’ve ever really admired.

Nikola Tesla

[to Helen] I guess your father liked us best as a couple.

Nikola Tesla

Oh, I'll be here working. Trying to save the world. Single-handedly. Ugh.

Nikola Tesla

We learn more from failure than from success. Or so I've heard.

Nikola Tesla

[to Helen] I notice you do seem a bit on edge. Might I suggest one of our green tea detox massages? It makes you feel 100 again.

Nikola Tesla

The little bastard. [slams laptop closed] This was supposed to be my party! Nobody hijacks Nikola Tesla!

Nikola Tesla

Look away. I'm hideous.

Nikola Tesla

[to Helen] Ah, you look fabulous!

Nikola Tesla

I want my life back. Look at me Helen. [Points to Henry, whose back is turned] I'm reduced to parlour tricks, morse code. I can't even get out of a cobweb without help from these chumps. [Indicates Henry and Will] What am I now? Human with-with benefits? It's pathetic!

Nikola Tesla

We open that door, we get an angry PTA meeting swarming in here.

Nikola Tesla

Never bore your audience.

Nikola Tesla

[after an explosion] Fortunately, I can't hear what any of you are saying. It's very nice.
