This quote really stands out to me. It captures how I feel about the statues. For five years, I’ve tried one logical argument after another. I’ve tried and tried to find words with the power to convey exactly why these statues are so important to me, and why what happened to them was so wrong. But maybe the value of the statues is one of the truths that Tesla is referring to. Maybe this is a situation in which logical deduction, and willful efforts of the brain in general, are futile. There is something inside of me that knows with complete certainty that what was done to the statues is wrong on the deepest and most profound level. Maybe this something is the instinct, the finer fibers, of which Tesla was speaking.
